Close Brothers Reviews

Tells lies to staff, clients and suppliers alike. HR are less than useful. Culture of fear and intimidation. CB has no problem in telling lies in performance reviews to ensure staff are sacked. This ensures they have no payout. Not mine. Just the 8-10 staff that they have done this in the last year. Less than honest. That's putting it mildly. truths in short supply to both the staff and suppliers. My advice. Avoid like the plague.

If you value your career avoid Close Brothers like the plague! Alternatively if you wish to experience how a workplace was back in the 1970's join Close Brothers. This is how outdated this firm is in its methods Management have no backbone and have given longer serving members of staff a free reign how to treat new staff. New members of staff are ostracised and not given support or adequate training to perform their jobs. Expectations from management are not in line with the poor and sub standard training offered to a new starter. Management expects miracles from day one Experienced members of staff heckle and laugh at you if you don't understand the work without proper training. They do not support or encourage you to perform The environment is very cliquey and groups have been formed and if your face don't fit you are ostracised. All in all working at Close Brothers was the most traumatising experience in my professional career. If you value your career think very careful before joining them as this is a soul destroying place to work Close Brothers has immersed itself into a unique culture which is not in line with the modern workplace. As a company they are resistant to change and modern working practices If you do join them be prepared to change yourself to fit into this environment. Be prepared to be institutionalised into this unique culture, otherwise your stay will be a short one.
