Senior Associate Review

The role is exactly the same as a graduate employee with day to day account auditing and responsibilities. Good responsibility however poor remuneration for the responsibility as always one grade behind the graduates

Learning towards the ACA

The people are great however the job can be very stressful and there is a poor work/life balance with a company culture of unreasonable expectations

Promotions are automated and bonuses are minimal or non-existent this means that good staff feel undervalued.

Being the first year there is much uncertainty about the progress of the course with much of the decisions being made on an 'as it happens' basis.

Kaplan college there is assistance if asked.

Due to the uncertainty listed above there is little or no support for issues and the HR team are particularly poor with the knowledge of the scheme

Salary is good for someone without a degree

There are opportunities however the work doesn't offer the flexibility to attend them

Yes

Good name and qualification on your CV. Get to work with people of similar ages to yourself.

Ensure you understand what the job entails before applying.
