      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!!!

      Toxic - avoid at all costs

      Pros

      Some good and nice people in the business. Not sure why they are still there to be honest.

      Cons

      Toxic culture, all decisions made by only thinking about how it serves the CEO and no one else. No support, terrible management and leadership. Business is run by a few that have been there for years and only know one way to work. Old school (1980’s/90’s) mentality and approach.

      What a joke

      Pros

      Free water. Aside from that you could not pay me to write something positive about this place.

      Cons

      Where to start. Regimented work place that expects you to follow a prison style routine. To the point where bathroom access was not even allowed at will. Expectation of a stupid amount of cold dials every day. Oh and they lie to their clients, lie in the interview process and sell you a complete falsity. Avoid this company at all costs. They ask new employees to review their business before they even start so any 5 star reviews you may see cannot be trusted.
