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.
