Advice to Management

Need more investment in employees. Be a bit more patient. Admin doesn't need to be blamed for everythign that goes wrong.

Pros

Senior Management are very good and kind hearted people. Rare to find in the finance industry. I would highly recommend anybody who wants to make money and stay away from dark parts of this industry to work here.

Cons

Not many cons I can think of. You have to be a principled and honest person to work here. IT also means that if you are somebody that is dishonest as you find in the finance field this may not be the place for you.

Advice to Management

Keep up the great direction and good words even when times are bad. Thank you for the continual support and encouragement and for showing me how to do things the right way.

Pros

Good team and team culture. Liked working there and the training that was provided

Cons

Some people get the job better than others. People who are incompetent complain a lot. People who do well excel and are rewarded.

Advice to Management

Keep sourcing good talent and having a multi cultural team

Pros

World wide company opportunity to work with other countries. Worldwide office precense. Great IFA. Smooth UK Pensions transfer. Oscar Winson had the most efficient teams to track and transfer UK pensions

Cons

Financial Consultant is a hard job. Requires an outstanding personality. Need to learn a lot of clodu based technology.

Advice to Management

Give more IT training and give awareness of the cloud based nature of the job so older conssultants are a bit more aware

Pros

Not very many. I have to put in 20 words so the only positive I have is that the coworkers were very friendly and fun.

Cons

Did absolutely nothing but cold call for 9 hours a day. It was exhausting and demeaning and they need to figure out a more effective means of obtaining new clients.

Advice to Management

Don't just use college students from CRCC to slave away and cold call all day. Also don't tell new hires to watch wolf of Wall Street and boiler room to gain confidence. That only gave me a very sketchy feeling about the entire company.

Pros

Good pay. Flexible hours. Nice boss. Very spacious coffee. Tea and coffee. Generous leave and sick days. Good locations. Clear understanding of jobs roles

Cons

not many cons that I can think of. Sometimes we run out of cups. Some times the toilet is not clean. SOmetimes the maid does not do a good job

Advice to Management

keep up the good work.
