Pros
When I started at Jigsaw24 I had very minimal sales experience but through internal training and support I feel like I grew into the role and more. I've seen a few comments on here around lack of support, growth etc but from my experience in the sales team I received a lot of support not only from my management team but also from other areas of the business as well which really helped develop my role. People were there to offer advice, help and assistance even if they were really busy to push me further and get the most out of the role. I'm really glad to have worked with so many fantastic individuals. One thing I really want to shout about is the people who work there - they are fantastic. Yes you may not agree or see eye to eye with everyone but that's standard where ever you work and the amount of people who are there for one another is second to none. You can ask anyone for help, no matter if they don’t fall in your direct area of work and know they will help if they can, but if not point you in the right direction. Work equipment wise - can't fault it. Latest tech to use is perfect. The directors - this team has expanded out a lot of the last few years as the business has grown but huge shout out to Roger and John. They are amazing and put their all into it. There aren't many businesses where on your first day you go to make a cup of tea and they come over and start talking to you - and actually take an interest in what you say. And this is a common theme from what I've witnessed with any new starters. They put their all into Jigsaw which is fantastic. Perks - there are a lot, and I know when I left the HR team were looking at implementing more. HR team wise I always found them approachable and was able to speak to them around anything. I've seen comments on here where they are living in denial - from my experience this isn't the case. Any issue raised was dealt with in a professional manner and was reassuring . Just to make a point I left not due to any issues, but I was offered another role which was great for my progression which just wasn't available to me at the time at Jigsaw.
Cons
The culture has changed slightly from when I started (it has gone a bit more corporate than how it was) but that is expected with a growing business especially within the industry that it's in. At one point it was going a bit like a boys club in some areas, and it was a case of who you know rather than if you were good at the role, however this has been tackled and was changing back to normal when I left. Some teams do need padding out in terms of staff members as it can feel like they are overwhelmed sometimes but again that can happen with the industry especially when new things are announced.
