This role is primarily a switchboard operator position, handling up to 120 calls per day across five business numbers. The telephony system and routing methods are outdated for a company of this size, and there is little meaningful support from upper management. Lines of communication are very blurred, with no one taking full accountability, which creates a significant disconnect between the office services team and the wider business. The company is also extremely top heavy.

Training was minimal (less than 8 hours), and much of the role involved working through outdated procedures or operating procedures which simply do not exist. The workload is overbearing and isolating, with no real control over call volumes or vast admin duties, which makes it very difficult to deliver a proper front of house experience for both clients and office staff. Taking more than a few days off results in returning to an unmanageable backlog, which does not reflect a fair or supportive work life balance.

While the company does have some excellent colleagues who do their best to support one another, overall the role left me under supported, overworked, and underpaid in comparison to industry standards. This ultimately led me to seek better employment.

My very short experience at Seven Investment Management was not at all positive. I found the management to be lazy with a real lack of interest/input given towards my role or my professional development.

I also experienced a hostile environment with passive aggressive behaviour from a particular close colleague, including having conversations about me while stood/sat next to me, making derogatory comments and blanking me on several occasions.

The salary plus benefits were good but did not in any way make up for the demoralising culture and convince me to remain at the company.

In the beginning the first 6-9 months went well with lots to learn, after that it becomes repetitive with lack of opportunities to learn new things, put on different hats or projects.

There are a lot of toxic people at 7IM, who can be very degrading; there is a lack of diversity.

Great company, gave great exposure to a number of different elements within the business environment that you wouldn't get in other companies.

People were great and all like minded working together to get the best results for the business

Poor base salary which is way below average for industry. Bonus' if any, are laughable for the amount of revenue you bring in. Avoid at all costs if you are expecting financial renumeration. Avoid at all costs. 
Flagrant flouting of covid guidelines which put all staff at risk.

I took part in an experience week consisting of learning about all the different aspects of the business in a classroom, as well as spending the majority of my time shadowing relationship and investment managers. 

Really enjoyed the smaller company atmosphere.

Small company with a good culture. Needs to keep this in mind as the business grows.

Lots of friendly people. 
Keen to progress you.
Would like to see more flexible working hours

I had an experience week there and was great as a student in my second year of my degree to get a little taster of an office in a similar field that I was wanting to pursue when I graduated.

daily team meetings to review current workloads, outstanding issue, any other problems such as system issues. very friendly environment, very helpful overall.
