Pros

I've so far worked here for 3 Months and i'm really enjoying it - Fast paced - Passionate teams - Flexible around working hours and WFH - Great opportunities to learn - Given the leeway to push back on deadlines and decide next steps without micromanagement - Approachable Senior Leadership team - Never a dull moment

Cons

- Pensions not great - Parking is an issue (But company has alleviated this issue with a pool of spaces that can be booked)

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. It’s great to hear that your first three months have been so enjoyable. We listen to feedback from our people and are constantly looking at ways to further improve their work/life balance – hence our commitment to offering training and development to colleagues and the introduction of flexible working. I take on board your feedback regarding our pensions, and as a result, we’ll be increasing the pension percentage awarded for employee-grade colleagues, which will come into effect in April. As you pointed out, we’ve addressed the issue of parking in Haywards Heath by introducing an app where colleagues can release their parking space when it’s not being used, opening up availability for others. Regards, Jo P.S. I wholeheartedly agree that there’s never a dull moment!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I’m sorry to see you share negative aspects from your experience working here at First Central, particularly as we heavily value the wellbeing and happiness of our people. It’s pleasing to see that you feel you’re working with great people around you and that you sense a strong team spirit, as this is an essential ingredient at any business. In relation, however, to your concerns around leadership and management, I recommend discussing these issues with your line manager or with the HR department. Thank you again for leaving a review and I hope you feel improvements are made in the near future. Kind regards, Jo
