Pros

The good thing about Barclays everything is remote so you get to work from the comfort of your home. I love working remotely because it gives me the flexibility to travel and do day to day activities. Working in the call center can be interesting at times it just depends on the day.

Cons

I work at the Wilmington location and it is VERY DISORGANIZED! From Day 1, I was given the incorrect equipment and training was terrible because we were given outdated information during training plus new policies were being inforced everyday which made the job even harder. I'm overworked and underpaid Barclays pay is very low for the amount of work we have to do. I'm basically working multiple roles with my customer service position in the Care department. Barclays is desperate for employees so that's why there constantly hiring I regret working for this company because its truly been a nightmare. Management is rude and trash. Very clueless individuals who don't know anything about the job. I swear I would NEVER recommend anybody working at Barclays because they don't care about their employees.

Pros

One of the best companies I have seen, who provides such a good care to their employees, specially during COVID situation. They provide a flexible environment to work and support their employees in best possible ways. Some of the benefits that an employee get in Barclays are: * Good Increment while joining the company (Don't forget to negotiate well) * Flexible working environment * Very good perks - free transportation; free tea, coffee and soups * Annual Bonus (not included in your CTC) * Encouragement for internal job movement. IJP policy is very good. * Decent Annual Appraisal * No. of leaves are very good and there are many more. During Covid, Barclays has extended enormous facilities to the employees, such as: * Advance Salaries (which needs to be paid back in 6 months) * Increment in the medical policies * Additional Cash reimbursement for Covid treatment *Free WFH kits that includes Ergonomics Chair, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, etc. * Transportation for Covid treatment and Oxygen Supply * A dedicated toll free for all Covid related queries, and many more.

Cons

The only Con I found is that Barclays does not cover the Parents in the medical policies they enroll the employees. You have to pay the premium separately for your parents under VPA.

Cons

Managment cause stress and presure , bully their staff . Managment not interested in getting colleagues engaged . Too much presure and targets in a role that is supposed to be autonomous and provide risk protection to the bank . Errors made because the culture is all numbers . No interest in staff well being , or happiness .
