Leeds Building Society Reviews

Pros

Benefits, culture, Flexible working and a new head office

Cons

Challenging and hard work but rewarding

Pros

The people at LBS are what drive the business forward.

Cons

The technology infrastructure needs serious investment.

Pros

People are nice to work with.

Cons

Too much focus on selling products over the counter. Also have to work 6 day weeks.

Pros

Benefits are good and general support from direct management. The shifts were at an ideal pattern for me.

Cons

Poor pay with empty promises to increase and very little windows for progression. Senior members at the very top of the chain gave clear indications that they cared very little (if at all) to the grunts on the front line. In the end; it was all about profits and feeble attempts to recognise those who literally made themselves sick from what was expected. No recognition for a person's individuality and they forever made changes that often put some staff at a disadvantage, leading to their resignations.

Pros

Really friendly colleagues within the office. Welcoming and had good team social events. Good benefits and support from my TL on skills progression.

Cons

No real drive or direction of the business. I didn't feel the business had any strategic direction given from the top level of management. It was almost "too laid back" - if that's even a thing!

Pros

It truly values its people, and it comes from the very top of the organization. It doesn’t just have values written on its website, it lives by them, makes decisions by them. It offers every one an opportunity to be brilliant at their job, have a go at a new opportunity. It is a big community with a big heart spread out across the UK. It is thoughtful in how it does business and it makes sound decisions about its future keeping its customers at its heart always, like I’ve rarely seen before.

Cons

Like any large organization it has many established processes that need changing, modernising, and some of the tech software is in need of updating.
