Pros

Barclays Bank in general does seem to have a good infrastructure for progressing and career development, and I think it's a good place to form a career... if you're lucky enough to be in a position in which you feel happy, supported and comfortable.

Cons

The pay is horrendously bad.. pretty much minimum wage. The benefits are almost non-existant and seem to mostly revolve around things which will make the bank more money (Credit cards anyone?). The support for employees in times of personal issues is appalling.

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
