Rotten at its core and too stubborn to change - Full Time Employee At Head Office St. James's Place Employee Review

- Offshore colleagues are continually used as a prop to make SJP appear more diverse. The reality is these employees are treated as second class citizens across the business - Refusal to address root causes of abysmal corporate culture - The whole partnership model of advice fails to add any real value for clients (every critique from the FT is entirely justified) - Poor pay for permanent SJP employees and unreasonably large bonuses for senior managers - Cutting corners in every aspect of the business which ultimately incurs SUBSTANTIAL long term costs - Every business decision is built around a hierarchical structure, whether thats in the interest of: senior management; the so called ‘principal’ and ‘senior’ partners, or their ‘private clients’. This is often at the expense of responsible business operations, appropriate corporate strategy, and positive overall client outcomes
