Pros

Barclays pays its staff well and you do get some good worthwhile product discounts

Cons

Things change on almost a weekly basis with no thought as to how these will play out from the customer's or staff's point of view. There is very little communication down the ranks to convey the reason for the procedural changes they bring in. There is far too much red tape involved in simple procedures.

Pros

The pay in competitive. The networking available through the experience in invaluable, through the occasional conference and meetings with senior leadership. Training is good.

Cons

The hours are abysmal. I believe some banks offer superior outlets into other realms of the bank. The work can be somewhat repetitive.
