Terrible place to work

Pros

Interview was very easy, I assume because they don't really care who works there

Cons

The company is selling, frankly, crap. And they know they are. So you have to lie to sell the crap, provided with figures you know full well are entirely invented. You're put under a lot of pressure to extend these lies to law-breaking, as you literally stand there all day cold calling people who have never heard of your 'market leading publication' that's supposed to be in THEIR industry! The money's pretty terrible, too. For what they claimed is a graduate job, the salary is frankly shocking. the bonus structure is hardly enough to live on, especially in London. the 8am starts or occasional 8pm finishes are not worth it, especially when you consider the crap-hold of an office you're in. It seems pretty clear they're taking advantage of graduates for a reason; graduates don't realise that being paid so little to basically cold call people isn't normal.

Pros

There are none apart from location!

Cons

Lied to at interview, were looking for a consultative sales person who would have their own client patch... this is not the case,no patch and only 50 leads which are given to 8 sales people, sales force is not used collaboratively so dog eat dog in office, clients get angry with 10 calls a day,encouraged to lie to clients about where we are calling from! Encouraged to sell by sitting underneath your dirty desk! No kettle or kitchen and canteen closed, great location but staff are not social! Whether starting your career in sales or not ( even if they double your salary) don't take the role!!!

Pros

The people are good fun which is the only positive thing about this place

Cons

This could go on forever, all you need to know is the life will be sacked out of you.
