Inconsiderate line manager was toughest.
Competitions and conventions made job enjoyable.
A company with a culture of high performance.
Line Manager was very difficult and doesn't have proper work ethic. He was rude to the entire staff and made everyone feel small and incompetent when addressing the staff
Company need to support their manager as much as they support consultants they also.need to review the way they target their branches considering the dynamics of the branch.
My personal experience was very competitive and fun. Everyone was treated equally. They have a great culture. I felt as though my talents were not matched as to my offerings.
Managing staff and sell loans to community that is not affording to pay the money back. having to sell to an area where people are not employed and un-employment rate that is very high. This put stress to my staff as sales were not easy to do.
