Pros

I've been with Rise for 7 years now and joined straight from university with no previous work experience. I was knocked back by 2 other recruitment companies but was given the opportunity here by the directors because they knew I had the fundamental qualities to be successful in the industry. I'm born and raised in Bristol and come from a working class background. I can honestly say that I have completely changed my life since joining Rise, buying multiple properties and enjoying some incredible trips to Miami, New York, Les Arcs, Barcelona and Portugal along the way. There are countless of examples where other like-minded individuals have positively changed their lives and continue to do so year on year. We have a great culture where everyone genuinely wants to see others do well. We all have a common goal of helping Rise become the go-to global recruiter and we're only just getting started. The 2 directors Jeff and Ben have an open door policy where you can go to them with any issue and are always on hand to help, even out of hours. I would highly recommend Rise to anybody who's looking to become part of a vehicle where you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

Cons

Recruitment is tough, but that's the nature of the industry and there's no getting away from that. This would not suit somebody who is not willing to give it 100% day in day out as you just won't reap the rewards.

Pros

As with all recruitment companies, you can earn well if you work hard (standard)

Cons

*Managers lack the basic skills to manage people effectively *You are literally rated as a number (1, 2 or 3) which completely dehumanises individuals and makes them even more disposable *staff are pressured into writing 5 star reviews to promote good company image *In an anonymous staff questionnaire, if something bad is written the director will try and find out who wrote it *Bully culture *Managers are robotic in the sense they have no flexibility to have their own management style and have to be replicas of the directors *Continually threatened with your job even if you have made the company significant money previously to drive performance (not great during a pandemic when the company claim to be breaking records and people are already anxious about many other things out side of work, lack of human decency) *One size fits all mentality *Directors openly belittle managers in front of the team meaning consultants lose respect for their managers *False promises to tie consultants in (office renovation, Australia etc) - it doesn't happen *Brain washed employees think there is no life after Rise *If a consultant leaves the company they are openly slated in front of their ex-colleagues - Very bitter, small minded approach to people moving on to better things
