Pros

- Colleagues at the same level were very helpful and created a good environment for learning and building each other up - Nothing else

Cons

- Senior management would micromanaging everything - Senior management were so out of touch in terms of clients in debt, not understanding the amount of help that people would need - Senior management would constantly complain about not hitting numbers and press us to cold call old clients - No proper training and progression available as there are no new positions available - Management would waffle about how they would help with current problems and never give a reasonable solution - No semblance of work/life balance given to advisors, constantly working and staying in the office for longer and doing work at home after hours - Senior managers treating preferred colleagues in a certain way compared to others

Pros

The trainers and regular staff are very nice and the company is clearly geared towards a great cause.

Cons

The work is not very challenging. If you are a law student looking for pro bono experience, you might be better elsewhere.

Pros

I joined Debt Free London as a Technical Supervisor in 2019 from another advice organisation in London. It has been a real pleasure to work with such dedicated and passionate colleagues that all have a can-do attitude. In my last job, I felt stuck not knowing how my career would progress - but in my short time here I've already seen other colleagues receive promotions for taking on additional responsibilities and am excited to grow my career here over the coming years.

Cons

Debt Advice is a regulated sector and has had many new requirements put upon in over the last few years - I wish all the advisors I support and supervise had enough time to keep themselves up to date and were able to find a good balance between seeing clients and personal development.
