      A-Plan pros and cons

      Insurance broker
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good stepping stone if your starting out in insurance. Offers CII training. Fair amount of progression opportunity. But only really if you're willing to move to different areas around the country.

      Cons

      Very inflexible, no hybrid option and poor staff benefits. Tried to improve lately, but largely this is a dressed up bottom end scheme that doesn't really offer much. More of a "On paper looks good" measure, so employment packages look a little better. Don't really offer anything of any real value to their employees.

      Thank-you for leaving a review. Our employee offering has undergone some significant changes in the last 18 months, offering tangible benefits that can be life changing to those who need them and are quick and easy to access. Our focus has been on employee health, well-being, family and cost of living. We have also launched milestone rewards that offer paid sabbaticals, reward vouchers and company shares for our long service team members. I would be grateful if you could share the type of long-term benefits that you would like to see introduced, would you send a message to me directly so that we can discuss? paul.sissons@aplan.co.uk

      Fast-paced environment/Short of staff/ workload/ constantly doing overtime/ underpaid for the work what you do/working on weekend-Saturday. High competition with alternative market on personal lines.
