Pros
Barclays have a good brand and a global reach. Holiday entiltlement is good, 27 days. Other benfits are useful, healthcare and share plans.
Cons
Very political atmosphere and always telling you to 'Raise your profile' - what does that really mean? It seems that once you are in a job, there is not path mapped out for progression and if you aren’t one of the favourites you don’t get much help. There is a minimum period in the role of 2 years. The RSM role is very difficult and very service focussed despite their attempts to tell you different. The wage structure for this role is poor and you have to do a lot more hours than you should for the wage you get paid. There is no way of getting from this role to Relationship Manager without taking a sideways move to either Credit or risk and then doing another 2 years there. I would NOT recommend this role.
