Senior support associate Review

Senior support associate, I am a associate within transaction services so my day to day tasks were to crunch large volumes of data sent from the client, analyse it and come to a conclusion with visual representation of the data. My main focus was within the retail and consumer sector. I was mainly focused internally dealing with more senior staff members up to partner level.

I have been able to become more confident in using software tools such as excel and powerpoint and believe my overall confidence level to become more involved in group discussions on the project has benefitted.

I enjoy what I do and enjoy the experience I get from working in London and other offices across the continent.

I feel valued as an employee within my team, however I do not believe this has been reflected in remuneration as I have progressed.

As I was one of the first people to go through there were quite a few flaws and felt that the program itself was a distraction from the overall job I was to do.

I felt there was an adequate amount of support available. Although I had to question the relevance of some of the tasks I was to do such as increase word count after I had met the criteria

Minimal support from my employer was received. I don't believe there were many areas in which support could have been provided.

I feel the basic salary is very low and does not reflect the time and effort that is put in. Yearly rises have been questioned as they were very insubstantial.

I have found that when based in Belfast I have been able to get involved in social events outside of work but as I spend quite a lot of time travelling I am not able to benefit from all of them

No

I believe there are more suitable positions that offer a more 9-5 working day with a better basic salary.

Be yourself in the interview and focus on what makes you different.
