Pros

Some of the nicest people i've ever worked with. Really good to each other, especially young sales execs.

Cons

Where to begin. Disgusting office, no facilities for tea/coffee, one toilet for two floors . (40/50 blokes and 2 cubicles) In terms of the actual job, massively unrealistic KPI's - awful leadership - no contact between yourself and anyone except line manager who isn't even that much more experienced. You are selling something that doesn't work, it's a con - you spend all day lying on the phone and then expecting people to pay 9+ grand for it. Terrible terrible job, lovely lvoely people.

Pros

If your were in with the right crowd you got better treatment that most and the location wasn't bad.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. Goal posts constantly changing. Asked to forecast your month before targets are given so everyone is forced to lie or you get shafted. Very questionable practices. Treat staff like children
