Pros

- Very pro-active with their Charity work

Cons

- Lack of communication - No support from Managers or 1-1's for years - Lack scale of bigger broker - Manipulate redundancy situation by removing work and Salesforce license prior to being told your job is at risk ! - From the day of notification of risk of redundancy to now the Partner has made no attempt to communicate or get in touch, despite being their PA for 4 years, which shows complete lack of people and empathetic skills! - Poor HR department who come across as rude and not interested. No help in retaining you, all they do is forward you a copy of the latest vacancies and then you have to wait for a month for the redundancy pay-out. - Whilst taking minutes in meetings, Senior Managers including a Partner would openly mock their staff. On one occasion they implied that because a member of staff didn't want to travel to London or attend nights out that she must therefore be suffering from domestic violence. They made jokes at people's expense and were so rude about their staff. - The Partner came up with loads of great ideas but never saw anything through and was so unorganised and it was all very last minute. Lacking basic planning skills. - They employed a Senior member of the team to sell a specific product, and they don't even have the backing of an insurer to sell that product, so now they have him writing marketing articles all day.

Pros

A true “team effort” environment. I think it really depends on who your team lead is and the dynamic of the group you work with. You will get a ton of experience fine tuning skills as they provide constant trainings and resources to learn. Decent pay when compared to competitor companies and great 401k plan. Plenty of company and marketing events. Hybrid work is great. Again to preface, who you work with can make or break the atmosphere, but everyone I’ve met has been extremely nice and willing to help. Opportunities to grow within the company.

Cons

Health benefits could be better. Company is really pushing new business and there can be a lot of work and last minute fires to put out that can feel daunting. There have been quite a few times I’ve worked late into the night to get things wrapped up. You need to self organize or things can easily fall through the cracks very quickly. A lot of meetings that can take up a majority of your day - leaving less time to get actual work done.
