Pros

Money is ok, Pension is better, Location is ok.

Cons

Management operate in a clique and target individuals. I saw them mistreat and ignore someone who left in a sideways move. Also saw them not only refuse a annual pay increase to someone who was highly skilled, whilst asking them to continue with profile raising tasks... this meant people new in the business were getting paid more than them. Assessors for work highly subjective, 1 assessor will have a different viewpoint to another, meaning you can fail your monthly targets due to subjectivity and it is a hard battle to get their decision over turned even if you have a strong case. Shares - wouldnt bother with them as when you leave there is a sting in the tail.

Pros

Good employer benefits, strong pension scheme. Working in Premier makes your time feel worthy - treated like an adult. Company makes your job feel secure and safe.

Cons

Can feel a bit like school in retail banking, pretend they don’t have targets when they do. Branch staff demotivated as they can feel overworked and underpaid. Focus on ‘customer stories’ however only when it’s what the big bosses want to hear - ie product based or the new trend.
