Advantages: Bonus, flexibility

Disadvantages: Salary

Depending on what you're looking for in a job and which part of the business you work in, Halifax are great employers.

They're very flexible about things like hours and days and willing to change them and work with you to make sure that you're working when you can. This is especially useful for a lot of the people I know there who go on maternity leave and need to come back on reduced or adjusted hours

The employee benefit packages and share options are all very good and generous. The annual bonus is excellent and unlike a lot of employers, Halifax pay all their new starters the same wage and don't pay people under one of the minimum wage cut off points any less for the same job.

However, the salary isn't great. The shares and bonus packages are not enough to compensate it to a comfortable living wage - there's no way you could support a family on one normal Halifax wage, even by living extremely frugally.

Summary: Great for students or other part time workers
