Pros

The people are a big pro here at First Central - our Execs are approachable (I definitely don't feel like they're those scary Execs you can sometimes get!!) - they often get involved in the 'fun' stuff too. More specifically, the People Pillar are a great team, we work collaboratively and get important stuff done for the good of our colleagues (and candidates). We have some great benefits here and the Reward team work hard to ensure they're competitive (if not, better) than other Insurers / Financial Services organisations. We're kept up to date with business performance regularly and are always given the opportunity to ask questions and make suggestions for improvements. I have been with the company for some time and still love it!

Cons

I don't feel there are any notable cons to call out

Thank you for taking the time to leave a 5-star review! It’s lovely to read that you find all of our colleagues to be a big pro! We pride ourselves on being a friendly bunch and we think this goes a long way to ensuring a positive and healthy working culture for our people. Your feedback about our leadership team being approachable and open to new ideas is great to hear. We’ll continue striving to maintain this authenticity and openness as we grow – and keep getting involved in the ‘fun’ stuff too! We really do value all our colleagues, so it is key for us to ensure they feel supported, rewarded and appreciated for their hard work, which contributes to the success we achieve. Thank you also for the feedback on the People team and specifically the Reward team who work hard to ensure we have a great set of benefits. Thank you for being part of the team – we look forward to your continued success at First Central! Kind regards, Jo

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
