Pros

Some good few people that make it worth staying

Cons

1. Management is extremely toxic and expect you to complete tasks without communicating to you. This mis-communication between managers and juniors is also very common and causes huge issues but is never sorted out. Management have no training or experience so when they are faced with problems nothing is done to solve or help the issue presented. 2. Extremely underpaid compared to other insurance companies and work load is HIGH. Expected to start early and finish late as part of CFC ‘norm’. There is a huge pay gap between individuals doing the same job with the same experience just depends on whether management believe your face and GENDER fits. 3. Over the last year higher management has changed a lot and not for the best. A lot of benefits have been scrapped and CFC culture is low. Not ‘work hard play hard’ as they promote it, it is more work hard and that’s it. 4. Promotions aren’t based on what you have achieved it’s how long you’ve been there, so is a waiting game on who leaves for you to then get your chance.

Thank you for sharing this. We are sorry to hear that your experience at CFC did not feel as positive as we would hope. Hearing different perspectives is important to us. CFC has been growing quickly and much of the change people have felt is linked to that growth. With more people and bigger teams, the way we work has had to shift, and we know that this has not always felt as clear or as joined up as it should. The points you raised around communication, workload and decision making have come up in conversations with colleagues too, and they are areas we are actively improving. Over the past year we have been working hard on giving colleagues clearer information, more reliable communication and improved support as the company grows. We are also strengthening onboarding, leadership development and wellbeing so that people have more guidance and feel better supported from the start. While your experience did not reflect the culture we want people to feel here, we appreciate you taking the time to share it. Our aim is to build an environment where people feel supported, able to grow and proud of the work they do. If you would be open to it, we would welcome a chance to understand a little more about your experience. You can reach us in confidence at hr@cfc.com. Thank you again for sharing your perspective.
