Pros

Flexible working and office locations

Cons

Their company ethos and culture which they market extremely well is not emulated in the day to day operations of the business. Management treat people like numbers, do not collaborate effectively between departments or provide support structures for tenured employees. Despite what they post on LinkedIn or advertise on their website, the business is on the brink of failure. Because of the way they treat staff, they are facing a 35% (and growing) staff deduction, as they continually over-promise technology solutions to clients which are to date, undeliverable, and management do not take any responsibility for this and instead cut heads and re-market personnel changes to maintain a social media presence for the company.

Pros

Industry-Leading Flexibility: The trust at Shieldpay is a step ahead of almost any other firm I’ve seen. Management truly understands that life happens. Whether it’s school drop-offs, pickups, or last-minute childcare hurdles, they make it work. In a regulated environment, this level of autonomy is rare and incredibly valued. Empowerment: You are trusted to do your job where and when you want. There is no micromanagement regarding "bums in seats," which fosters a very mature working environment. Transparency: Leadership has made a genuine effort to be honest about the direction of the company and the state of the industry. I’ve read some of the recent comments here and, honestly, I feel they are a bit unfair.We are in an incredibly difficult economic climate right now—one where businesses much larger and more established than Shieldpay are struggling. It’s important to have some perspective. While no company is perfect, Shieldpay has tried to be honest with us. The flexibility here isn't just a perk; it’s a core part of the culture that management works hard to protect, even when things are tough.

Cons

Market Pressures: Like any company in this space right now, we aren't immune to the broader economic climate. This can lead to periods of high pressure and uncertainty as the business navigates external headwinds.
