Pros
Good salaries for Branch Manager and above, minimal weekend working. Resilient hard working and committed Branch teams.
Cons
Shockingly poor leadership from a morally bankrupt "Heads Of" and "Exec" level. Many senior managers inventing initiatives and projects that have no benefit to customers but do keep them in their 100K + roles. You will only progress if your face fits and once it does not your exit will be swift and potentially outside of employment law. Pre Christmas a member of the Area team was bullied into leaving and received no support. Training is window dressing" just to tick boxes and dupe investors into thinking the group is people focussed. This is a business that within a very short time has lost its way and it will get better before it gets worse.
