Pros

Good incentives, central location and team outings can be a lot of fun.

Cons

Long hours is the biggest con - there is a lot of pressure to stay late and come early when you miss financial targets. Also, there isn't really a training programme - you're thrown in at the deep end. The biggest con would have to be the fact that the business is so central about money it forgets about its workers. In addition, the company doesn't deal with other companies in good faith - it's all about maximum cold callings and see which company takes the bait.

Pros

Good work culture and environment

Cons

No progression opportunities Limited benefits ie no tea/coffee facilities CEO has to approve minor changes which slows down the process of things drastically Workload and responsibilities increase with limited/no resources, along with no salary increases High staff turnover No incentives only if you are in sales HR do not have employees interest at heart

Pros

- The people are lovely - Decent training - Great Incentives - Location - They put kettles in the building after excessive complaining - Learn how to use the most popular software Salesforce - Decent hours - Good company to have on your CV

Cons

-Micromanagement It was extremely demotivating. It stifles the passion you might have towards sales because your manager is too busy micromanaging you -Unnecessary administration Some departments working close to our department felt that the work load could be slashed however it was too much -Poor commission structure It was abysmal. -Low conversion ratio No focus on the product and just churning out sales, this lead to a poor rebook rate and the product overall not hitting its target. -Heavily KPI focussed Constant checking KPI's, people would call the answer machine to try and boost call time otherwise you would be in for a telling off. -No career progression Only favourites got promoted or people who have been there for a long time -Poor basic salary For the industry standard and for the amount of work expected, the salary offered is too low. -No payrise High performers have been waiting 1+ years for a payrise and still nothing -Average is the best Don't be bad or good, be average. You will get intense pressure if you are either, probably more if you are a high performer. They want every single last drop of your soul, and it is not enough
