Pros

-Good Money if you do well (typical of any sales job) -Fun people if you Subscribe to their culture

Cons

You are expected to make 80 cold calls a day in this company, your job will be to read from a script while being berated by middle management, if you want to feel like you are calling for PPI this is the place to be. World class "training" consists of receiving said script and a list of companies to call. Micromanagement from out of touch mid-level management is extreme and pushes successful sales people out the door. Great place to be if you were formally part of Mike Danson's original company - spoon fed leads and contacts. No such love for other sales people (despite your success). Backstabbing immoral sales style employed to push inferior products, the company is getting a worse and worse name across different verticals. No way out of this due to extreme pressure put on sales people. Office plagued with out of date and dirty equipment. Your desk consists of as little space possible in order to cram in more graduates with a "burn them out and chuck them out mindset" one in six will remain after six months. No chance for career progression, promotions will give you a different job title doing the same role. Most of the positive reviews here are fake, don't learn the hard way like I did. Avoid like the plague. This place will burn you out . Unpaid lunch hour in order to get people to work at 8am (you will be expected to work until 7pm.

Pros

You get paid, a few of the people are pleasant.

Cons

They water down the soap. The toilets are a state, the floors are wet and you don't want to touch the walls. It was so bad that I would hold off going to the toilet to go somewhere else at lunch or wait until I got home. There is favouritism from management, and they don't like new ideas or improvements. The senior management team may as well not exist, you won't see them let alone engage with them. The CEO walks around with a frown on his face. There is not a proper kitchen, if you want to make a coffee you will need to buy one from the company. All of the furniture is cheap, old, and probably second hand. The turnover is unreal.

Pros

You get paid and no one really cares what you do. Good location.

Cons

Pretty awful environment, they don't like to spend money on anything, even the soap in the toilets is watered down on a daily basis...
