      Toxic - Avoid at all cost

      Pros

      There are no pros to working here.

      Cons

      The other negative reviews are true! It was the most toxic environment to work in and the managers are bullies. I would give this company zero stars. Managers actively seek to criticise you, blame you for errors committed by others and are generally very malicious. The benefits are also not as good as other similar companies, and salary was not the best. Don't bother considering this company and heed the negative reviews which are accurate.

      Terrible management

      Pros

      The people are amazing, the culture is fantastic, the CEO is very visible and incredibly down to earth which drives a really nice culture internally.

      Cons

      The manager of the Private Client team is manipulative and very unprofessional. She's a self confessed control freak and if you disagree with anything, she makes your life incredibly unpleasant. She has her favourites and if you're not in that category, regardless of your standard of work, she makes the role really unpleasant. Would recommend avoiding that team at all cost.
