Thank you for leaving a review. It is positive that you feel that the Client Service Manager role is good for gaining experience within Financial Services. The role is perfect for gaining a broad understanding of a variety of financial services products as well as building on client service skills so it is great that you felt you were able to do this. It is a shame that you feel that compensation is not the best and that staff turnover is high. Company turnover is 9% for the 12 months up to September 2020 but it is something that we continue to monitor and review together with our compensation package. Thank you again for your feedback and all the best for your future career.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Good company culture, everyone friendly
Cons
Really really really boring and monotonous job, that in releasing a piece of software should do, but they haven’t bothered figuring out how and instead pay an army of drones (client service managers) to plow through arbitrary ‘tasks’ in antiquated computers and software - hated it.

- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Majority of staff are young and enthusiastic, nice location, good benefits. Good HR team and a roof terrace to relax.
Cons
Senior management are approachable and talented, however middle management are largely top-down oriented, "do-what-I-say" types. Passive-aggressive behaviour and even bullying is apparent, and there is practically no opportunity for non-management staff to contribute ideas and progress. Atmosphere on many days is toxic, and the workplace itself is drab, slightly shabby, and overcrowded. Meetings drag on for hours with no progress, teams don't interact with each other well and communication needs improvement across the board. No flexibility in work unless you're senior or favoured - facetime, putting in extra hours and knowing the right people seems to be the way to get noticed rather than productivity and talent.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it's great to hear that you liked the office location and thought positively of our benefits package. We are disappointed that you did not perceive there to be much opportunity to contribute towards business ideas and that you felt that communication within the business needs to be improved. We strive to foster a collaborative, engaging culture that empowers staff to grow and maximise their skills across the business through open communication. Opportunities are offered internally to apply for roles within different areas of the business, there are secondments and SME roles available to encourage ongoing learning and personal development. Once again, thank you for your feedback. We encourage openness and honesty to provide an environment whereby our employees feel listened to and supported and we will take into consideration each of the points you have raised. We wish you well in your future career.

- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
- Interview process was very straightforward and quick. Applied for the job on a Tuesday and had a formal job offer by Friday. Was made to feel very comfortable by recruitment team throughout. - Induction Process. Everyone at Transact is assigned a 'buddy' when they join, who helps them to get up to speed with the daily tasks. You progress at a good speed without ever feeling like a rabbit in the headlights. Opportunity to meet CEO too.
Cons
- Not much to say here. Work can vary from day to day, some days are very manic whilst some days there's not a lot to do but that's the nature of the industry.
