Pros

Near the station, modern building

Cons

Inexperienced management throughout. Just do exactly what CEO says even when they don’t understand it. Few internal opportunities unless you flatter the right person. Talk a good culture but there isn’t one.

Pros

good benefit pension scheme, free fruit, social events, city centre location, office facilities. Plenty of projects and exciting opportunities Has lots of potential with the right leadership and people

Cons

Highly paid professionals not setting a good example. One instance being a senior colleague openly arranging their personal social events over the phone during work hours speaking loud enough in the office for others to hear. Also standing by the reception desk a number of times throughout the day chatting with the receptionists and sitting on reception to cover which for a senior individual was not appropriate. General lack of professionalism, which was not addressed. No respect for facilities and benefits provided, such as the coffee machine that was free by the company, however, was not looked after by staff. Also the kitchen facilities where there were dishwashers constantly broken because of being overfilled. Unhealthy romantic relationships that would fester into work life. Definitely a risk being a financial services industry and with the size of the company. This was not managed or addressed appropriately by line managers.

Pros

Staff and colleagues were great

Cons

Management don’t properly investigate whistleblowing cases, they only promote or employ former colleagues from Principality Building Society and they don’t support their staff with high work loads and poor processes.
