Susan Bell, Chief Executive Officer said: \u201cAt Waterstons you take control of how your career develops. Whether it\u2019s building skills in a particular sector or technology or developing a completely new area of the business, if you think it will help our customers improve their business, it\u2019s encouraged and rewarded.\u00a0Our values are important to us. They\u2019re what Waterstons is built on and inform everything we do. We\u2019re not one for rules or red tape, but our values are set in stone.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe live by our people first ethos and encourage our colleagues to work flexibly, from wherever they need to be to meet their personal, family and professional commitments; in the office, at home or perhaps their local coffee shop.”<\/p>\n
Chris Pallister, Senior Technology Consultant at Waterstons, is a new recruit, having joined the company this year. He said: \u201cSomething that became clear during my interviews at Waterstons is that the people are genuine and they put a lot of effort into the recruitment process to ensure that each person is the right fit for the company culture. They were friendly and really made me feel like I\u2019m not just another number to them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWaterstons offered me a chance to grow with them. They show trust in you from the day you start; it\u2019s not about working towards an endless ladder that you feel you can\u2019t climb. Here, you start at the top of that ladder and the further you go the more reward you get for it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
