      Pros

      no fixed working hours, you can print your documents for free, there are no real other pros

      Cons

      management top heavy, they do not any value, high omission split and no support in return, on paper it looks great to work with a bank/branch client base but in reality you have to fend for yourself as there is a massive conflict of interest between the bankers and advisers.

      Pros

      Large client base and because Absa is now part of Barclays, one can leverage of the global Barclays infrastructure and resources. Well known brands

      Cons

      Too many untrained and inexperienced staff. Takes long to get things done. Constant change and staff turnover
