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...

Pros

You get paid at the end of the month.

Cons

The company has gone through multiple names changes to hide their terrible reputation as a Online advertising Magazine. Any measurable evidence and analytics that you'll be pitching are all made up as well as the product being a complete farce. At least 10-people leave a week for 3 main reasons - 1) They saw the light and resigned. 2) Fired for having a personality. 3)Unreachable targets wern't met. All 4star and above reviews ARE written by Managers or Recruiters. Period. Certainly not a environment to go to after leaving University if you are looking to get into Consultative sales. For anyone reading this, fresh out of uni looking to get into sales - word of Advice - This place will make you think Sales is all about Wolf of Wall street selling... - Does the biggest companies in the world use wolf of wall street selling??? the answer is a big fat NO

Pros

1) Get to work with bright, friendly and enthusiastic people. 2) Can be a good stepping stone for other 'better' companies. 3) Become experienced at writing leaving cards.

Cons

1) There is no time for training. It is on the job learning, but without the time for the learning. 2) There is very little support, which can make you feel quite isolated at times. 3) Communication about staff expectations and progress is very poor. At times, it is unprofessional. 4) The company recruits a lot of very talented and enthusiastic people, but there is no desire to develop and retain people. This means there aren't many experienced people to train junior team members. 5) Staff are given constant reminders about how they are unappreciated. No pay rises, which means pay effectively goes down. Staff are forced to use 3 days of their 23 days holiday for Christmas break. There isn't even a kettle in the office! Consequently, there is a lot of negativity amongst staff towards the company and a very high turnover. This creates a very de-motivating work environment.
