Pros

Barclays compensation package is good especially compared to available jobs in the area. Opportunities to get involved in fund-raising and charity events.

Cons

This may be the particular location but there is a 'small town mentality'. Team leaders have an inflated sense of their own importance, and pick their favourites in a team. Often people will be asked to 'act up' which basically means they get more work out of you than you are paid for - this is not rewarded with the promotions promised. Team leaders pick their favourites and judge staff on how well they flatter them, not how competent they are at the job. Bullies are not dealt with, despite numerous reports from many people.
