Pros

Good commission structure, some good managers, good training/ structure, organized, good business support team such as marketing

Cons

No flexibility, lots of KPIs, benefits are much better at other agencies, some bad managers, nobody really cares about one another = not a good company culture, known to throw people out without warning, some people will snake you, don’t like you taking Mondays off, early finish on a Friday but if you want the afternoon off to have to use a whole day which doesn’t add up, the expectation to work late

Pros

Having come from smaller organisations, I was cautious joining a larger firm but I’ve been very impressed! - great team surrounding you, good buzzy environment - rewarded well with what I would say is market leading com scheme - managers are great at giving advice, constructive criticism and supporting further development, no matter your experience level (all done in the right way) - quarterly do’s and regular incentives

Cons

If I had to give one, it would be working flexibility but I don’t mind what’s in place

Pros

An organisation dedicated to providing recent graduates with meaningful opportunities, fostering a culture of encouragement and motivation, and supporting their professional growth to help them achieve their maximum potential.

Cons

A demanding, results-focused workplace where high expectations are standard. Work hours remain flexible and employee-driven, with no enforced overtime or mandatory long days.
