Pros

Barclays has a decent pay. Not bombarded with an overfill of calls depending on what department you’re in.

Cons

Management and higher ups are all over the place. You are constantly being graded on new information that changes constantly. There is no foundation to new information given. There is a lot of favoritism that goes on within higher ups so unless you’re scratching someone’s back constantly say good bye to any future promotions. You’re treated very replaceable in any role of any department. There is a lack of support which is crucial in this role.

Pros

Good location, semi decent pay, hybrid and remote work

Cons

If you’re not white and a man, you will not move up. It doesn’t matter how much you do, or how much you know. It is a good old white boys club.
