Pros

Great to be part of something that feels like its going somewhere Generally lovely team of people David Howden is consistent, directional and inspirational Pay above market Swanky office

Cons

pockets of bad management seem to go un noticed great career prospects until I had a baby lack of support for families - they talk the talk but don't walk the walk Dreadful environment - people say how much they hate it there but are bound to stay because they hold shares and will lose all value if they leaves. This leads to a really negative environment

Pros

The first few months I worked there were nice

Cons

Brokers look down on and treat people below them badly Heavy workloads with no support from team managers on managing them No support from team managers Blame culture on people who weren’t managers or team leaders Minimal Training, just have to learn on the job but this gets you treated badly by other colleagues who think you should know better

A missed opportunity

Pros

So much potential in an industry under change, on paper ought be a vibrant place to work.

Cons

Management don't walk the talk and are stuck in the old-boys-network behaviours of insurance broking. This translates into a direct lack of strategy, competence and experience, especially in the management of technology and data. High levels of tension, staff turnover, and workplace stress are endemic as a result.
