Don't Bother

Pros

Lots of talking to client if thats what you like

Cons

Poor training and an unprofessional workplace culture made this one of the worst environments I’ve worked in. Staff turnover is extremely high, with many employees lasting less than a year, which says a lot about how the company is run. It was common to hear colleagues openly bad-mouthing both current and former staff, creating a toxic atmosphere. Management were rarely available or supportive when issues arose, particularly for new starters who were expected to figure things out for themselves. If your face doesn’t fit, it quickly becomes clear you’re not wanted. Anyone joining the company should be aware that job security and proper support appear to be lacking.

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
