      Cog on the wheel

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      At the senior ranks you are given high autonomy.

      Cons

      Lack of culture. You can work at Barclays for years and not know your coworkers. Just another cog on the wheel. You are disposable. Expect your supervisor to be a spectator and solely rely on outside reviews, will not try to get to know you at all. One size fits all metrics are all that matters. Very “sterile” feeling around the office. You end up doing everyone else’s job given lack of accountability. Outdated tech/slow systems.

      Deceiving

      Customer service agent
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay is decent& health coverage is good.

      Cons

      Insane call volume, not real good training, constant changing within the company. Upper management dosent even let managers know what's going on to lower employees. They lie about moving up. Got to stay within metrics to not get written up & keep your job - that's if they don't outsource your unit & lay you off.
