Pros

Endless amounts of training on AJ Bell products and staff discount on Youinvest services allowed me to consolidate many old workplace pensions and get a better deal.

Cons

Pathological command and control culture. Managers completely detached from reality. Aggressive senior member of staff using obscene language at daily stand up to describe other staff members and teams. Manager behaving in misogynistic fashion making inappropriate comments to female members of staff and ignoring toxic behaviour within the team. Passive aggressive HR department "We use a Bradford scoring system, so don't ever get sick". Bombarding everyone with pointless, endless mandatory training courses. Ancient tech stack, rotten code base, irrational resistance to refactoring, changing or upgrading existing code.

Pros

I never thought I would say this about a job but I genuinely love what I do. The role itself suits me perfectly and I love tbe atmosphere around the building. Since moving to AJ Bell, I have been shown great training, leadership and a shared common goal. I feel apart of the team and not just a cog. Management are all approachable and my colleagues are great.

Cons

Just wish the office was closer to ny house!
