    Anyone here worked at Pearl Assurance in Wythall, Birmingham?

    Hi folks, wondered if anyone had worked at this place, any thoughts you can share on culture, hours, project management etc. Thinking of applying for a role there would be good to consider your experience (if you have done a stint here).

    Thanks.

    The only question you need an answer to is 'the agent is ABC, do they pay on time?'

      Is their contract IR35 proof or is it full of bulltulip clauses?
      How much margin do they take?
      What are their payment terms?

          Not necessarily, I know a couple of places that pay well but are miserable holes to work in and for. Money is certainly not everything for me and I'd happily take a lower rate to work in a known good environment. It's far easier to project manage in some places than others!

            That's the angle I try to take (depends on my financial circumstances of course) - is the consensus then that they are a good place to work based upon your knowledge Craig1 (couldnt tell either way from your response)?

            Of course, the money is good, but if its a long stint I'm far happier in a good working environment.

            Any other views out there?

                Not worked there but been a few times and worked with them for a client that was doing a deal with them, what type of position? It's mostly Crapita there so not hard to shine!
