Awful firm - Trainee Financial Adviser Stonebridge Wealth Employee Review

Hard work, but fair work. The management team definitely push you to succeed and often take you out of your comfort zone, but for a first job (which it was), I learn alot about the industry and also myself very quickly. I didn't always enjoy my time there but I certainly gained lots of skills and experience which has later benefitted me. Good social life, often incentivised and rewarded for good work. Qualifications paid for by the company and pushed to qualify and take on your own clients.

Trial by fire. From day 1 you are cold calling. Salary isn't great and puts a pressure on your ability to cold call for clients. Very much a boysclub style culture.

Good work ethics, and if you might meet some decent contacts in other areas of the city if you work there.

If the thought if working for an estate agent or recruitment firm fills you with dread this probably isn't the place for you. There is a reason why that they are ALWAYS recruiting. The management team all came from a firm called Welbeck Consulting (Google it - & see article in The Independent) and the business model is much the same.
