Transact Employee Reviews about "transact"

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.

Pros

I have worked at Transact since 2006 & still love my job, that in itself speaks volumes. I have had fantastic opportunities during my time at Transact & I am a strong believer that if you have the right attitude & you work hard you have plenty of opportunity to progress within the business. Transact have offered me extensive support over the duration of my career, supporting me through various external qualifications& in house training, helping me to develop & grow as an individual. Transact has grown over the years, but we've managed to avoid becoming too 'corporate', people don't hide away in offices, if you fancy a chat with the Head of Department go for it. If you have an idea, raise it, and if it's a good idea you will work towards implementing it.

Cons

Working in the operations department is challenging, no one day is the same as the next. To stay on top of our game we make changes, frequently. If you don't like change, this could be a con. I wouldn't say this is a con, but you have to put something in this field.

Pros

Bonus payment is roughly 30% of salary Knowledge in departments is rated highly Friendly staff and everyone seems approachable and a lot of hard working employees.

Cons

Lack in progression, HR promote this well when interviewed however management fail to assist. Bonus is paid over 6 months and salary is low. Management are the problem with the company, often out of touch and they will not listen to staff they consider 'below them'. They have a bigger problem - client operation employees are leaving transact at a rate they cannot recruit in time, so the work is affected overall. This should wake them up and appreciate the staff that do actually work hard.

Pros

Transact has proven to be a really enjoyable experience so far. The people, culture, work, and money are all great and I would recommend working here to anyone. Culture - The hours are reasonable and the level of stress around the building seems very low. There are times when we are busy but these are easy to plan for and there is a nice team spirit. The environment and the people are very relaxed with a collaborative rather than combative atmosphere. Money - I cannot say how they compare to other financial services companies but compared to other industries I have worked in we are well looked after. The benefits and bonus are also very welcome! Work - The work is interesting and there is plenty to do here. We set our own pace and change is managed far more pro actively than at other places I have worked.

Cons

There is a fairly entrepreneurial spirit here which has lead to some processes and systems feeling less mature than you might expect to find for a company of this size. If you are coming here from a super corporate background you might be in for a surprise or two. It didn't bother me but it could take some getting used to.

Pros

I am a fairly new starter here and can honestly say Transact welcomed me with open arms! The recruitment process was smooth and I was always kept in the loop. The staff are relateable, extremely down to earth, and more importantly approachable if I have ever had any problems or help. The salary and bonus perks are great and I have already been given options to further develop my career here which is fantastic for me. The list goes on, I dont think there are many companies out there where staff feel as thought they belong, and in comparison to my previous role Transact is up there my a huge margin.

Cons

I have none so far
