Pros

- Good opportunities to work on different insurance classes - Pretty laid back

Cons

- Pay is abysmal and management are of the opinion that staff shouldn’t discuss salaries because it shows this - Management don’t care about losing staff, and would actually opt to force people out of jobs if they don’t fit the Howden mould - Howden deem other insurance companies / brokers as “nobody companies” and let their overinflated egos get in the way of staff leaving for other opportunities - Lots of middle managers who can’t manage their teams and allow bullies to treat other colleagues badly
