Pros
Teams are very young and social as most people join straight out of uni. So at least you have plenty of people to bond with at the pub over a mutual hatred for a poorly run company
Cons
£40k OTE is a lie and genuinely IMPOSSIBLE. At £10-£25 commission per sale, and a good month being 6-10 sales, you’re looking at £2-3k of commission per year before tax. And that’s if you hit your numbers which isn’t always done. The recruiters sell the job as being consultancy, events, international travel and all sorts to get you on board. This is completely untrue. The reality is EXTREME micromanagement from incompetent managers who are very inexperienced, 80-100 cold calls a day to people who really don’t want to speak to you, and sifting through LinkedIn bombarding people with messages to come to an online event. If you’re working from home and your laptop is offline for even a minute for any reason, you will get a bollocking as managers bully you into working, rather than positively encouraging and helping you. Every day is exactly the same from 8:30-17:30 with no variety and your soul will be dead by the end of your probation. The company has no interest in employee retention, so most people leave after a few months and new starters join on a weekly basis. They also have no interest in ensuring employee satisfaction. There is no HR and their support towards mental health is a weekly email that gets sent to everyone with a rubbish joke in it. Sick days are unpaid and holiday is only really 16 days as 4 are forcibly kept aside for Christmas, regardless of religion. Additionally, the selling point of ‘quick progression’ is ludicrous. Promotions are not made based on good performance but pure ass-licking and how long the person has been at the company. Hence why most of management barely have a brain cell between them.
