Pros

I came to Reeves several years ago from a previous job behind a bar. Started off entry-level but the company has supported me through qualifications and experience. It's definitely a workplace where you get out as much as you put in. This is a good place for people who want to work hard and learn (not necessarily through formal qualifications, there is plenty of training going on throughout the year). I would also say that I have seen the company be quite flexible. If people have expressed a desire to work in a specific department, they will usually try to accomodate. It's not guaranteed of course, but if it's a good fit for you and a good fit for the business then it usually works out. The firm has recently reviewed it's benefits package and it looks good. This wasn't a huge factor for me but I know it is for some people.

Cons

I think it is fair to say that Reeves isn't for everyone, and that's perfectly fine. This is not a highly corporate setting so if that is important to you then this won't be a great fit. No matter what job you do, you will be required to communicate well with people. Those who don't speak up/keep to themselves might not fit in as well without some extra effort. If you want to work 100% from home then this probably won't be a good fit for you. If you have worked for other financial services firms, specifically financial advisors, you are probably going to need to learn a new way of thinking and working. If you don't want to do that, this likely won't be a good fit for you. Rarely does someone come to Reeves and walk straight into the top-job in the firm. I would encourage people to be patient and concentrate on their progression pathway to move upwards in the business. The CEO has always been very vocal about how people can progress if they put in the time and effort.

Pros

Pay was acceptable for some roles and the business could provide varied experience due to moving staff across departments. Some nice people.

Cons

A deeply unhealthy workplace culture where inappropriate behaviour was too often tolerated and concerns did not appear to be taken seriously. Professional boundaries felt inconsistent, and conduct that would be unacceptable in many modern organisations could be brushed aside or normalised. Management standards felt weak and inconsistent. Favouritism appeared to matter more than competence, with some individuals protected while others were criticised or overlooked. Accountability did not seem to apply equally. There was little sense of fair progression, with roles and opportunities appearing to be handed out informally rather than through transparent internal processes. Hard work and capability did not always feel recognised. The environment could feel cliquey, exclusionary and at times demeaning, particularly if you did not fit the preferred social dynamic. Raising genuine concerns risked being labelled oversensitive rather than being supported. Overall, this was not a workplace that inspired trust, respect or confidence in leadership.
