Unhealthy Work Environment - Consultant The Consultancy Group Employee Review

From my experience, management always handled things from the perspective of encouragement. If you are proactive and engaged you are trusted and just given a platform and the tools to work with. An existing network of clients, which are shared, but always encouraged to create new business for yourself and the opportunity to take ownership of that, which long term is far more lucrative. There was a good balance of work and fun. A relaxed atmosphere, and always approachable people. A close knit company.

Some of the other reviews here seem bitter to me. Recruitment isn't right for everyone, it's hard work and you have to have the discipline to get up and create business for yourself, jobs aren't just handed around like in the larger firms, but if you are someone that actually wants to learn, this is probably a great thing. I've been out of the company for around a year now to move into a different industry, I'm only leaving a review as I don't think some of the other representations here are fair, I had fun, received a great foundation in sales and loved the people I worked with.

- Comprehensive training to set you up for success - Excellent Commission structure—high performers are well-rewarded - Beautiful office in the City of London with great perks (gym membership, coffee, etc.) - A flexible, dynamic workplace that values honest, ethical business practices - Loyal clients and long-term relationships that create stable business opportunities - Management is hands-off but always available when needed—ideal for self-starters - Opportunities for career growth if you're driven and willing to put in the effort

- The company requires self-motivation—if you’re looking for an easy ride, this isn’t the place - Smaller business means there’s less formal structure, which may not suit everyone - Success requires building strong relationships and a network—this takes time, and you have to be patient and persistent - The business operates in a tough market—sales are challenging, and not everyone thrives in that environment
