Pros
The diversity of my role keeps the job interesting with new initiative and challenges springing up all the time. This can lead to strict timescales and really busy periods but having the right attitude towards work helps me get through the busy times knowing the extra effort will lead to calmer seas ahead. I feel listened to and respected by my manager. All my colleagues are friendly, helpful and committed to serving our customers well. The renumeration is generous with annual bonuses and other benefits. The work life balance is fine with little to no work expected out of hours. The CEO frequently provides the odd treat here and there for all staff, like breakfasts, lunches or snacks. It can be demanding at Step One Finance but it’s also a lot of fun, with good banter and camaraderie with good people.
Cons
Flat structure of teams can hamper progression.
