Top Review Highlights by Sentiment
Excerpts from user reviews, not authored by Glassdoor
Pros
- "The amount of sick/vacation time they give is great for people just starting with the bank." (in 414 reviews)
Cons
- 5.0FEATURED REVIEW17 Apr 2023Senior IT ManagerCurrent Employee, more than 8 yearsLondon, England
Pros
Been here 30 yrs and love it. Really flexible so was great for childcare over the years - now I see this as useful for aged parents and grandchild care. Takes menopause, diversity, social mobility, women in IT, employee mental health etc seriously. Really supportive colleagues - this is an encouraged / measured behaviour. Training and advancement on offer, ability to move around in different roles, mentoring encouraged. Regular employee surveys taken very seriously by management.
Cons
Can’t really think of any cons. I’m a strong recommender of working here.

Cons
No cons I can think of.
- 4.025 Nov 2023Personal BankerFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsMilton Keynes, England
Pros
Fun environment if you get along with your colleagues. Great working hours inside the city centre from 10am - 6pm. Good work life balance.
Cons
Staff love to hire people from outside as managers, rather than upgrading current staff from their role to the new position. It's much more loyal and cost effective, and 9/10 the existing staff members are much more experienced.

Pros
Good stepping stone for someone in the early stages of their career.
Cons
Working weekends became frustrating and I felt this wasn’t evenly divided.

Pros

Cons
- Should match the salaries to the market rate - More promotion, can be difficult to move up
- 4.024 Oct 2023Digital Banking AdvisorFormer Employee, more than 5 yearsBelfast, Northern Ireland
Pros
Good place to start, long training and plenty of support. Good culture. Good support structure and most people are willing to help you out if you're stuck.
Cons
Limited opportunity for growth within the company, shift work means you will not see your full weekends every week. Customers can get rather nasty. Lets remember you work in a bank. People arent phoning to say Hi. Good culture though a friend of mines was upset through a sectarian comment made about his cousin who was an irish republican political figure and people thought he was over reacting.
