Pros

good benefit pension scheme, free fruit, social events, city centre location, office facilities. Plenty of projects and exciting opportunities Has lots of potential with the right leadership and people

Cons

Highly paid professionals not setting a good example. One instance being a senior colleague openly arranging their personal social events over the phone during work hours speaking loud enough in the office for others to hear. Also standing by the reception desk a number of times throughout the day chatting with the receptionists and sitting on reception to cover which for a senior individual was not appropriate. General lack of professionalism, which was not addressed. No respect for facilities and benefits provided, such as the coffee machine that was free by the company, however, was not looked after by staff. Also the kitchen facilities where there were dishwashers constantly broken because of being overfilled. Unhealthy romantic relationships that would fester into work life. Definitely a risk being a financial services industry and with the size of the company. This was not managed or addressed appropriately by line managers.

Pros

The hours they work are perfect

Cons

The only promote the family members of the supervisors & friends of management. People of Color has no chance in this company & it is so sad. If there is an opening, they tell you to apply. Why, when it’s going to be given to a person that is not of Color. People can come in off the street, & get a position before a person of color. Experience and degrees don’t mean anything with this company.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. While the experiences you're noting here are really concerning, I am glad you're making use of this forum to be able to feed back on them, However, I'm not sure Hodge is the right company for this review - we're a financial services organisation and we don't have anyone employed as a builder. Some of the references here also seem to point to a US-based company, while we're based in Wales. If you do have feedback for Hodge Bank, please continue to reach out!
