RIA London - Baker street - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) Ria Money Transfer

Great place to learn customer service! Great atmosphere Consistent schedule

Stress when cashing checks Working alone the majority of the time

Not many pros here. For some its the people, for others its the free lunch once a week. Free food wasnt important to me.

Initial onboarding was nonexistent. The culture is very every man for himself which really hinders collaboration even though thats the justification for being in a hybrid work schedule. Senior Management is terrible at managing the business so instead they bring in a consulting firm (not out of the ordinary) to make recommendations on where the business should be headed. They are far behind competitors in terms of product offerings, reliability, and trust because there is too much bureaucracy. The physical retail stores have become a hinderance for the company. Career advancement is not something managers will work with you on unless you constantly ask and even then there is no clear progression plan or support to reach that goal for yourself. Work will start and then stop because "someone disagrees" - more tenured employees will complain and use that tenure to try and either take credit for something or top work they think we shouldn't do when its not their decision. They will lay you off due to cost saving measures and then rehire your role in another country to save money. You will be paid under market value and your annual raise will be a paltry 2% mostly eaten up by taxes. They say they offer bonuses but that is inconsistent and if you do get one again it will be small and non-impactful and be eaten up by taxes. Their internal recognition program is not great. Most people submit for their friends rather than people doing impactful work. Feels like a popularity contest.
