Pros
Numerous opportunities to develop career. So many of my colleagues have worked their way up from entry level advisor jobs into mid/senior management positions. The flexibility in terms of working from home / office, hours etc. is brilliant. The Very Group has fully embraced hybrid working and is a forward thinking company.
Cons
Nothing major springs to mind.
Thanks so much for the positive review on your 10+ years at Very! We appreciate the part you played in our century-long journey! Take care, and keep in touch :-)

Hey, thank you for sharing your experience and leaving a review. I agree that we have a great culture and I'm pleased you like our agenda around wellbeing/mental health. Thanks for the feedback on the lack of progression opportunities. We always encourage people at Very to have development conversations with their manager regularly, and would also welcome progression conversations directly with us in the talent acquisition team to see how we can help. I will pass on the feedback to relevant hiring managers for future consideration. Good luck for the future, and keep in touch Kieran, Talent Acquisition Partner - Retail at Very
