      Pros

      To use as a stepping stone into a decent company

      Cons

      Salary is very low compared to other local companys ie BNP Paribas, Resolution Assett Management & Smith & Williamson. The only way to progress in this company is if your friends with the management as its jobs for the boys no matter how much knowledge or experience you have.

      It is very disappointing to read this review of our Glasgow team. I would like to comment that we are focused on recruiting and retaining the right people and ensure that our salaries are benchmarked with local markets to attract future talent. I cannot comment on your own circumstances however our pay structures are linked to both local market drivers and, once colleagues are settled into their roles, personal performance. Your experience of the Glasgow office is very different to mine. I am not sure if you get the regular news up-dates from the Scotland management team however I would encourage you to seek these out as maybe you are not on the mailing list. They are very informative and also highlight new roles and career opportunities.

      Pros

      Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

      Cons

      Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
