Pros

Very limited, the end of period half day can be good if the business has hit targets but hardly makes up for the ridiculous overtime you are made to work.

Cons

Similar to the review below, this is really not a good place to work with possibly one of the highest turnovers in the sector. Beware that you will not be given the below information when interviewing: - You will be expected to work at least 12 hour days, there is no flexibility on this except sometimes an early finish on Friday (5pm usually), weekend work is common. - You won’t be allowed to take holiday once you’ve started the business until you are either there for over a year or have consistently billed over a number of months - KPI culture here is ridiculous and you’ll spend most of your life sending blind/blank CVs out, you won’t meet any clients or candidates as it's all on the phone - People leave on a weekly basis, only a handful of people in the business who have been there more than a year - Take on loads of graduates each summer (20-30), work them into the ground and then they quit, repeat the next year - Low base salary, no other benefits except mobile and commission - No PSL clients, all spot business and a badly regarded name in the industry

Pros

- can make good friends as you all suffer together. - nothing else

Cons

- bully mentality - rubbish training - sink or swim - drug heavy company events - before considering this company do a LinkedIn search on how many people have left and recommend speaking to some of them. There is a reason why 30+ people leave every year within their first year.

Pros

- Great training and support when first starting the job from the team and your manager. Helps you learn stuff very quickly. - Excellent bonus scheme. Having months where you're earning £5K+ within a year of leaving Uni! - Amazing team culture. Basically working with your mates which really helps when you have the up & down days of the job. - Great office space with pool tables, golf simulator, yoga studio. Gives you lots to enjoy on lunch breaks/after work if staying late. - The incentives for the team and "top performers" are amazing. Every month we have meals/activities out in Leeds if we hit target, and the top billers do half-year trips abroad. - They have invested in new technology, including AI CRM system which makes menial tasks autonomous.

Cons

- The hours can be long, and you'll face lots of rejection when you first start. You're putting in lots of hard work but if you stick at it, the rewards are definitely worth it.
