Thank-you for leaving a review. There are plenty of new opportunities created by merging into Howden Insurance, but not everything can happen straight away and some changes, like the benefits, need careful planning to ensure we get it right. I’d be more than happy to book some time in with you to talk about the merger if you think that would be a help, I’d also like the opportunity to learn what more we could be doing to turn your two-star review into a five-star review. Please reach out to me on paul.sissons@howdeninsurance.co.uk.

Pros

Nice office, helpful employees, work from home

Cons

The systems used are very old which causes backlog and a lot of overworking, often you would see people not taking lunches. When I asked for more training I was told there is not enough time to retrain me so instead I was just let go. They can talk the talk but not walk the walk. New starters are told to go on walks but then once established are told it is wasting company time. Managers are kept on despite all of their staff criticising and without a clue what they even do for the team. Was a disappointing and stressful experience
