    Positive moments with colleagues, but stressful environment and poor management support.
    The good thingsSupportive colleagues and a few genuinely helpful managers who wanted staff to succeed. Team members were friendly, and there were moments of positive support and encouragement that made the workplace enjoyable at times.
    The challengesHigh workload, inconsistent management support, and communication issues made the role stressful and difficult to sustain long-term. Expectations were often unclear, and training could have been more structured. Management frequently prioritised quantity over quality, and staff struggling with workload or wellbeing did not always feel supported. The work environment could be overwhelming at times, with interactions that felt negative and unsupportive, which impacted morale and overall wellbeing. Clearer communication, more structured training, consistent management support, and a greater focus on staff wellbeing would greatly improve the workplace culture and overall experience.

    There are other better jobs/company to work for.
    The good thingsSome staff members were good, but they are rare because they all eventually leave too.
    The challengesEverything!! Middle management have no capability or skills to manage people or their business objectives appropriately. They have no leadership abilities, and only know how to push upper management agendas in the worst way possible. No foresight or commitment to culture and positive growth. Lack the ability to attract and pay for the right talent, to appoint into the right positions, therefore can only promote from what they have or go without.

    An experience I would never want to repeat.
    The good thingsSome of the other staff were fantastic too work with.
    The challengesThe management of the “Sales and Service” had little idea about what it took to be a successful lender and budgets where figures picked out of thin air. There was no “science” behind working out the targets set.

    A complete uphill battle against management...the only rewarding aspect was the fabulous staff to work alongside (whilst they lasted).
    The good thingsSome of the staff are really great, just under valued and under payed, anyone worthwhile leaves to go to other financial institutions eventually.
    The challengesA lot of the staff are not suitably qualified for their positions and are given too much management control over policy & store functions. Career advancement not offered fairly or based on merit.

    Lack of training, management and nonexistent rewards for good work.
    The good thingsExperienced staff are super friendly.
    The challengesManagement is a mess. Store/Branch managers have no control but are expected to drive sales through staff with no support. Wages are way too low - expectations of ‘bigbank’ Sales but with minimum wage.
