Pros

Fun pub sessions on Friday, a few nice grads who are looking to start out in London. Location not bad

Cons

Where to start.. Bullying managers who constantly bellow at you to work harder and make some money, despite the product being utterly useless (which they are all very much aware of). Extremely unpleasant staff higher up who purposefully lie to you about how to succeed, you essentially have to lie a lot and put up with micro managing on steroids. Foul office with no facilities except a few bathrooms, and chewing gum all over the floors. You can't sit down while you're on the phone and they ask you to 100% source your own leads so you end up staying late and coming in early EVERY day. For love of god don't work here unless you're an undercover journalist or a sadist who likes being bollocked for things completely out of your control and what isn't your fault. Grads, it will ruin your confidence and make you hate work. 0 stars

Pros

Nothing i can think off

Cons

It is like working in a pressure cooker, Manager expects us to login at 7:30 and work till 7:30 though market closes at 4PM. He is a big psycopath who doesnt want his team to interact each other and wants to stick to the system 24/7. Very rude and abusive.

Pros

I was acquired with the rest of my team and brought into Progressive, most of them are still here too. Other than that, I can think of absolutely nothing. We had concerns before we came over, and the worst of those have been the least of our worries.

Cons

Where do I begin. The culture here is appalling, and I have never seen such a sales focused environment. There is a clear polarisation between the senior management and the rest of the staff, with the former being incentivised to expand with minimal cost, and the latter being penalised and seen as a burden. A disgraceful organisation, the offices are simply disgusting with a constant smell of sh1t, no modern facilities such as a fridge, free hot water, coffee or tea. Come here at your peril.
