Pros

Location is ok - Booths park is a lovely business park with lots of greenery.

Cons

Business is run at the whims of the director - if he doesn't like someone they have little chance of remaining in the job. I was let go without reason after a very short period. I was offered very little training so chose to take initiative and used my own previous experience and skills to work on projects as best I could to help colleagues during a busy time, but was then reprimanded for not being willing to take part in training?! I was not given much instruction in the first place and was not given any chance to improve or learn further, I was let go without full explanation. Still don't understand what I did wrong and I suspect I unwittingly upset the director by not being compliant or passive enough rather than actually making any genuine mistakes.

Pros

Over 30 years in the finance industry and the 6 months (so far) of it at Pension Works is right up there as one of the best places I have ever worked. The company is growing all the time & it's great to be part of that success. If the management say they'll do something, they do it. They really do recognise hard work and value input from the team. Giving clients the highest level of service is key to them and they go all out to support staff, enabling them to deliver that service. The company is still small enough for everyone to be part of the team, rather than an overly strict tiered structure. The people are all lovely, helpful & enjoy a bit of fun while working really hard. The office is great, lovely location, parking no problem. I would highly recommend applying for the opportunity to work for this fast paced, dynamic, fun company.

Cons

I can't think of any

Pros

I joined the company in march and I have been really impressed with the training and support given. In this company you feel valued and everyone is really helpful and welcoming. I get to work from home yet I don't feel that I am not part of the team as the communication is excellent and all ideas are welcomed and this rare when in any job from my experience. We have a great product and there is a passion when people speak with you about it.

Cons

This is easy as there are none and that's just the way I like it.
