Pros

progression fast gain cold calling confidence

Cons

underpaid, lack of transparency with comission. You owe the company 40+ bookings a month to hit minimum wage and unlock comission after that. Value low quality and low-effort booked meetings due to aggressively high KPIs Don't learn sufficient, elegant sales skills, aside from confidence to cold call. progression is to a mentorship route and not one for sales development Mangement lack strategic thinking when it comes to adaptibility on the sales approach. you won't learn sophisticated sales skills here but you will learn how to be aggressive over the phone

Pros

Fun place to work at, the culture at Flatpay is great overall and you bond well with other colleagues. The progression is rapid after a few months, which helps mould a career path here.

Cons

I understand that the company is still relatively new within the UK market so there will be changes, but I think that these changes has had a positive impact for the company.

Pros

No pros to this company at all.

Cons

I would not accept this job keep looking for another! The turn over of the company is huge on average 12-15 people leave per month. To the point where if someone is in the office late we all assume they have quit or been fired. Mass performance plans are given and often make you work until 5:30 then they fire you. If you haven't received a promotion in your first 3 months expect to be fired. This is not a company anyone stays in for a long time. The majority of people are looking for other jobs while working here. This company offer no perks - minimum holiday 20 days, no flexibility. The commission structure is reduced constantly but they still expect you to hit the same targets. This role is purely just cold calling, no emails, no linkedin. Just dialling 250 plus times a day. No strong management. There is 0 training once you are promoted into a management role which leads to lack of morale within the BDR team.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We read all feedback carefully and take it seriously. Flatpay is a high-performance sales environment and we're upfront about that from day one - it's not for everyone, and we respect that. We're proud of our promote-from-within culture and the investment we make in developing our people, including a dedicated training programme for managers. Where we do see room to grow, we're actively working on it. We'd always encourage anyone with concerns to raise them with us directly - that's genuinely how we get better.
