      Pros

      You get access to training Some of the people are genuine

      Cons

      Most people are fake, backstabbing and brown nosers Sexist, racist, homophobic attitudes all standard and encouraged Cult-like culture where if you don't behave like the rest of the salespeople you won't last long Encouraged to comment on women's attractiveness and their love lives Male staff have very strict formal dress code, women can wear anything as long as they look easy. No action taken about men in the company who behave very inappropriately. (I.e groping, referring to female colleagues as slags, unsolicited rude pics) GMs have to lie to candidates Forced overtime

      Thanks for your review, and we wish you all the best in your continued career. We read through your review and will be feeding it back to our HR team. That said, our dress code is defined as ‘business casual’, we allow our employees the flexibility to define that how they choose. We were also concerned with your comment around racism, sexism and homophobia. Our office is as diverse as our candidates and we have worked hard to build an inclusive environment. As well as this, Randstad (our parent company), is a part of Workplace Pride, something we’re proud to support in the UK. We are also fortunate enough to have a balanced Senior Management Team, with a number of directors, and managers being female.

      Pros

      Very little. Generally good crowd of people. Nobody i started with works there anymore.

      Cons

      You are asked to write disingenuous glassdoor reviews to bring up the rating - note the lack of description. This is so as to put the real reviews further down so they're harder to find & people won't jib off assessment centres. Go to the assessment centres - some of the clients are ace. Don't work for Pareto Law, it's pants & will con you out of a shot of working for a decent business by flattery. Racist - sexist - ageist - homophobic. Objectifying women may as well be on your Job description.

      Thank you for your response. We are surprised about your comment on retention, as statistically, our graduates stay in role far longer than the national average, and many go onto senior careers here. In fact, most of our senior sales directors began their careers with Pareto. 50% of our management team are women, which is a significant improvement again on the national average, and a statistic we are proud of. On the topic of ‘disingenuous reviews’: Our staff care greatly about our business, the quality of their work and management skills, and as such, are often motivated to comment on Glassdoor, being keen to express views they feel candidly reflect their own experience at Pareto. We find your comments about racism, sexism, homophobia, and ageism particularly worrying as Pareto prides itself on having a staff as diverse as our clients, with each member of staff upholding the principles of inclusivity and equality that Pareto was founded on. We wish you the best on your future career, The Pareto Marketing Team.

      Pros

      - free gym - easily commutable - Andy Wiles is a credit to the company; fair, friendly, understanding, generally lovely guy

      Cons

      - sexist, ageist, racist, homophobic to both employees and candidates - forced to lie about roles - marketing/HR tell staff to write positive reviews (see the influx of recent 5 star reviews with minimal reasoning) - lazy management - sexual harassment goes undisciplined and is positively encouraged - firing is easier than the female employees are made out to be in friday ‘wrap-ups’ - lies lies lies lies lies - ‘mustarding’ candidates, need i say more - denied promotions cause of spaces or not brown nosing enough
