Pros

Flexible working, great colleagues and a wide variety of work - actively encouraged and helped to develop and grow my skills from trainee level to Senior , yearly bonuses and management. Probably the best job I had which I would never have left if it wasn't for redundancy due to office restructuring after the takeover with Aviva

Cons

Aviva takeover meant that the office I worked in ended up being shut down and the work relocated to Norwich

Pros

Large company so a good benefits Package and 30 days holiday with the option to buy an extra 5 days. Also the possibility to move departments and try something new if you display the right qualities.

Cons

Cons were department specific, I worked in Customer Service in New Business and the department managers were the worst I have ever worked with. I quickly realised that no external candidates had lasted very long. The other managers were internal promotions so that was the only atmosphere they had ever known. One of the team members had a spray prescribed from their doctor just to use hen going into meetings with of the department managers, awful.
