Pros

Good starting job in the industry, make a lot of friends as its a big company. Christmas bonus was good, and they used to be flexible on WFH options.

Cons

Don't learn a lot of information to grow a career, stuck in a box ,don't ask questions type of situation. Underpaid in comparisons to other company's in the same industry. Technicians are massively disregarded and overlooked, people higher up the chain have no respect for them.

Howden Response

Thank-you for leaving feedback. We are pleased to hear you enjoy working at A-Plan and you are able to progress your career through our training programmes. Unfortunately, as a high street Broker we need to open when our clients are likely to need us. This means working Saturday mornings, however this is usually on a rota basis and you will get your time back during the week.
