Aviva reviews

What ever they say, you are just a number, a head count. No one is ever safe from redundancy or (sometimes worse) "talent moved" into a role you don't want to do or is created just to get you out of the way because its easier than sacking you (this seems to happen in management more often then you'd like to think!) The company has grown up very much in silos so even though there are opportunities of all shapes and sizes, your unlikely to get a shot outside of your business unit unless its a pretty ground floor role. The missed opportunity to bring people in from other areas with different views/experience is unreal, this leads to projects required to basically do the same thing, end up running in tandem with double the costs than if the business units just worked closer together.

No time to get your work done Letting your customers down because you have no time to deal with their requests Doing everyone else's work but your own (how is that for moral?) Huge case loads Feeling like the managers are doing you a 'favour' by granting you time off the phone Staying late to get things done (unpaid) Incompetent Business Managers who are completely out of touch with the job their staff do Incompetent Team Managers who do next to nothing Poor pay for the job we do (the work of maybe 5 different professions) Near impossible Pay Progression structure Experienced staff leaving and being replaced by temps Colleagues having emotional breakdowns
