Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are confident that our benefits package is competitive within the market and regularly benchmark salaries to ensure they are in line with comparable roles with competitors. As a company it has been important to listen to employees and we are delighted to have made the hybrid working model permanent and we are pleased you find this balance positive. Frequently recruiting internally has enabled us to offer significant progression opportunities across a variety of departments to those who are interested, so we are disappointed this has not been your experience. We recognise that work volumes have increased and are actively recruiting talent to ensure regional teams are able to handle these high volumes. Retention initiatives are underway as senior managers are aware of how these high volumes impact staff and we would encourage you to reach out to your manager with constructive suggestions if you feel comfortable doing so.

- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Good salary and bonus scheme
Cons
Don't expect any work/life balance, no sympathy if you have a family & need time off. Incredibly clique - only respect or have time for you if you've worked there for 10+yrs, or if willing to work 10+hrs a day. Back office is full of non-progressive dinosaurs.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased that you feel the salary is fair compensation and the bonus scheme is good. We are disappointed that your experience of the work life balance has not been positive and that you feel there are ‘cliques’ within the company. We strive for a collaborative and friendly working environment and from feedback know this is the experience of the majority of new starters. We will take your feedback on board and wish you well in your future career.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our London office location means we are in the hub of the City and our teams work hard to foster a friendly and collaborative atmosphere so we are pleased this has been your experience. As a company, we often recruit internally and over the past few months we have had many opportunities available. We would encourage you to speak to your manager and discuss a development plan to ensure you are able to reach your full potential with Transact.

Recruitment Business Partner
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Transact has grown rapidly over the last few years and we are proud at the continued growth and creation of new opportunities such as the Client Operations Administrator role. We are delighted to hear that you have found the culture to be friendly. However, it is disappointing that there is some confusion between teams over procedures as we also strive for an efficient, collaborative working environment. If you feel able, it would be highly beneficial to raise which procedures are unclear with your line manager so we can improve these processes for the future.
