Pros

It does offer a good benefits package with bupa and pension contributions

Cons

Salary is a still low considering a Universal Banker deals with peoples money You work half day Saturdays but expected to give hours back by taking 30 minutes lunch break because you get a full day in lieu. However you expected to arrive for work early and constantly leave late so land up working for free Bonuses decrease yearly instead of increasing considering profits made Always understaffed, branches closing putting pressure on remaining branches which has lowest number of staff than ever before No progression for branch staff Branch staff really treated as "bottom" of food chain Branch staff not respected by senior management No real work life balance working in branch and no flexibilit.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
