Charles Stanley Reviews

Salary, environment, management, friendly, considerate

Cons

Not really to be fair

Pros

Good pension plan, industry standard other benefits. Friendly relaxed culture.

Cons

Poor career progression, small number of investment manager roles available and no clear succession plan for trainee investment managers. No sales culture at all.

Pros

Friendly colleagues Loyal team Genuine care for clients Making progress with systems and approaches

Cons

Don't have the most joined up systems Senior Management can have old fashioned views about flexible working etc Can be hard to get things done, although this is improving

Pros

- You are able to make a difference if you want to. - Management are openminded and open to constructive challenge. - If you put your mind to it you can progress your career. - Great benefits and some genuinely nice people to work with and learn from. - Head office is very close to Liverpool Street for commuters. - Excellent work life balance.

Cons

- Some areas of inconsistency in terms of people management by devision but I can see this is being worked on and improved. - Can be a little old fashioned at times but again this is being worked on.

Pros

Decent office location and coffee Brokers are were very friendly

Cons

Pay was terrible Lack of real leadership Continuously found mistakes even in annual reports where CFO was fired Investment banking arm fell apart after only a few months No growth opportunities Eccentric firm where most things dont really make sense

Pros

Interesting job for sure, but the poor culture ruins it - The company need to really look at their hiring policies and hire the right people.

Cons

Terrible culture, genuinely at all levels everyone bickers and talks behind people's backs i've never been at a place so horrid before.

Pros

Relaxed atmosphere if that is what you want Benefits are Ok Office in good location

Cons

Stuck in old ways so takes a while to get things done Resistant to change / not adaptive Average / lower than average pay Do not value employees as much as one would expect

Pros

Friendly people who want to do the right thing for clients and colleagues. There has been significant change over the past 4 years (since new CEO started).

Cons

Pay is pretty average, clunky IT systems. Poor communication between some teams/areas.
