Pros

As in the title, the career progression is there for you if you put the effort in. Opportunities are there to be taken. You’ll earn big paycheques If you take those chances. Staff are very friendly and outgoing, you’ll make friends for life here. The events are second to none, all expenses paid.

Cons

No real cons here, cannot fault the set up, the product is quality and the staff are great. Thank you to management and directors for the support they give to their staff.

Pros

I’ve worked for PHMG for 18 months, having previously worked for a large multi-national. By comparison, I enjoy the fact that it feels a youthful and dynamic company to work for with a “work hard, play hard” ethos. There seems to be a genuine, company-wide enthusiasm for the services that are provided to the clients. Offices are pleasant and include pool tables, a table-tennis table and a grand piano. They’re located overlooking Old Trafford (football or cricket depending on which side of the office you’re looking out of). Perks include an additional half-day holiday after your birthday, and discounts on barber, beautician & gym membership. Outside of work, there are swanky Christmas and summer parties, provided you accept the trade-off of the corporate presentations that precede both. Everyone is actively encouraged to participate in charity fund-raising events, and there are active (and successful) football, netball and cricket teams.

Cons

Rigid working patterns - no flexible working (although there’s a time-keeping bonus for always turning up on time). Competitive pay but other elements of the overall package (sick pay, pension, annual leave allowance) fall behind what larger firms offer.

Pros

Working within the sales team has some great earning potentials. You are constantly incentivised to make sure targets are not only met but exceeded. In my time here I have taken home some incredible prizes, such as £500 selfridges vouchers, PS4, iPad, Beats headphones, Bose speaker and much more. There are many other smaller incentives as paid lunches and meals at some of the finest restaurants within the Manchester. With the incentives out a side, the actual earning potential of money you can take home is high too. Top performers earning double and sometimes triple their basic salary. This overall would motivate anyone that wants to succeed in sales. The jobs is very social. With games rooms etc to socialise with peers and also the opportunity to play for the Work sports teams at a competitive standard. Another great part of PHMG , is their contribution to some amazing charities. With events taking place all year round it’s a great opportunity to help towards some great causes. Career progression is huge within PHMG, with many people going through Senior levels and to TL’s within their first year. Also opportunity to move roles and go into the field. With the company being a global leader there is the ability to work across different continents too.

Cons

The few downsides of working within the sales position are that you spend a lot of your own time to get the results needed. You will need to source your own leads, however in time this becomes natural and easier as your pipeline builds. I had to get to around the 3/4 months mark before I built my pipeline. It can be demanding in regards to the working hours, as you may need to stay late, however to conpensate for this there are incentives for this.
