      Some Pros but too many Cons

      Pros

      Large Corporation with good opportunities to develop for those willing to put in the effort. Excellent holiday entitlement and good location outside of London.

      Cons

      Far too hierarchical, no real focus on the staff or the customer but a lot of false noise to come across as caring for both. Too much of a focus on the bottom line and a significant lack of recognition for good work. Recent Merger with Friends Life handled awfully.

      No idea how to treat staff

      Pros

      Career progression is there provided your face fits and the salary is undoubtedly excellent. Struggling to think of anything else.

      Cons

      There appears to be no long-term plan, it is a completely reactive environment. And then there's the constant re-structuring, downsizing and the negative impact this has on the staff who remain there. In the last 12 years I spent with the firm I had to apply for my job 13 times. A colleague of mine was doing the work that seven people had been doing the year before. The organisation was shambolic and I'm pretty sure everyone made redundant when I left the firm would have won a case at tribunal.

      Lack of strategic vision and commitment operationally

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very little springs to mind.

      Cons

      Regular management changes, lack of stability and commitment to any strategy. Also serious lack of ability (in the support functions). Structurally fragmented across different businesses with no global co-ordination due to local fiefdoms.
