Pros

Interview was very easy, I assume because they don't really care who works there

Cons

The company is selling, frankly, crap. And they know they are. So you have to lie to sell the crap, provided with figures you know full well are entirely invented. You're put under a lot of pressure to extend these lies to law-breaking, as you literally stand there all day cold calling people who have never heard of your 'market leading publication' that's supposed to be in THEIR industry! The money's pretty terrible, too. For what they claimed is a graduate job, the salary is frankly shocking. the bonus structure is hardly enough to live on, especially in London. the 8am starts or occasional 8pm finishes are not worth it, especially when you consider the crap-hold of an office you're in. It seems pretty clear they're taking advantage of graduates for a reason; graduates don't realise that being paid so little to basically cold call people isn't normal.

Pros

Supportive team, collaboration within the team

Cons

You never get a raise or promotion, not even annual inflation adjustment. Higher management doesn’t care about you or any other employees. They are only concern about generating more revenue without even appreciating or giving any perks to their employees.
