Pros

Competitive salary and periodic incentives

Cons

No benefits till you're confirmed, that is no HMO, no Pension for 6-12 months. Chances are you won't even last that long because of the hiring and firing culture. Seriously the rate of attrition is ridiculous. You could get fired under a month or you could leave on your own. While there, I saw people who came from banks leave shortly after because it's just a very toxic place to work. The MDs are extreme micromanagers who frankly couldn't care less about the humans working for them, they only care about what you can deliver. Makes for a very toxic, pressure cooker workplace. I would advise anyone considering joining Lidya in an investment capacity - be it Relationship analyst, Investment analyst, Investment Associate or even Collections - think about it carefully, if you have another option, please don't do it. All those roles are just titles, they're all telesales, the only difference is the different commercial targets so there's no growth, no professional growth.

Pros

salary, HMO, get together, incentives

Cons

bad leadership...They dont care about you. You can lose your job at anytime. Job security is on a negative scale. You might not even get confirmed for a year even after you meet the criteria in 6 months. If you join Team Abuja, you will never get incentives. It is a toxic environment. You can take the job if you have no other option but note that there is no career growth. It is all Telesales.

Pros

Had the chance to work with great colleagues.

Cons

They stopped paying salaries, kept lying about it just being a delay and even after everyone left they still haven't paid anything, Never even issued an apology.
