Pros

Good benefits Annual salary increase A variety of tasks in different areas as an admin

Cons

No career progression and no support to progress. Difficult to have motivation in this role. Very little exposure into other areas of the business, limited opportunities for growth Long hours, and you are expected to work outside of your contracted hours as an admin. Overworked, over stretched and under appreciated. Especially when it comes to larger projects, all effort goes un appreciated. Toxic work environment at times with ill-mannered colleagues Expected to run personal errands for seniors outside of standard business admin tasks This is a dead end role, you won't be building a career here.

Thank you for your five-star rating and for taking the time to share your positive experience with us on Glassdoor. We value your feedback and are grateful for your support. Given the nature of the industry our bankers do have to put in long working hours, and we do understand that working long hours can be challenging and that it can have a significant impact on work-life balance. That said, we have, over the course of the past few years introduced benefits such as flexible working/ remote working etc. to ensure our staff can have better levels of work life integration, while still getting a rewarding career with BDA.
