      Pros

      Benefits. Nice people to work with.

      Cons

      The whole process to get hired is unorganized. I was given a start date and then it was changed. I had already given notice at my old job or I would have just stayed there. I ended up without a paycheck in between jobs. It was VERY hard for my family. Not a nice thing to do!!! Very unprofessional.

      Pros

      I wish I had something positive to say about this bank. Unfortunately, I do not. It has been riddled with scandal after scandal and remains only a shell of its former self. As banks cycle through these sorts of problems on a fairly regular basis, I am sure Barclays will rise again but not for a good long while.

      Cons

      The recruitment was amazing! Barclays recruited me over the course of 11 months. It took that long to organization a package that I and my family could live with. Within 21 days of my coming onboard, the entire management that had recruited me so carefully had all been replaced. All promises made with no long in effect and I found myself scrambling. Horrible experience!

      Pros

      Ambitious headline program of work. Goal to be top wealth manager within 5 years. Central location within New York City.

      Cons

      Accountability absent. Lots of deadwood. Management focused on tactical issues and not leading to execute the strategic vision. Social employer.
