Pros

The company demonstrated impressive growth during the work-from-home period.

Cons

Management has forced a return to the office, requiring the relocation of employees who were essential in sustaining operations during this time. This decision prompts important questions regarding the underlying motivations, particularly in relation to employee autonomy and the perceived value of remote work. As noted in other reviews, this signals a transition toward a more impersonal corporate environment that prioritises shareholder interests. Prospective employees should consider this carefully before accepting a position here!

AJ Bell Response
1y
Thank you for leaving a review. To respond to a couple of the points you have raised, our Hybrid Working Policy requires employees to work from the office, on average, 50% of their working time over the course of the month. Employees have the discretion to choose which days of the week they work from the office or remotely. Our offices are the ‘beating heart’ of our business, where our culture lives and breathes and we think it’s important our employees are part of this. We remain committed to hybrid working and offering this blended approach to office and remote working.

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!
