Pros

Would make you appreciate any other job. If you can work here, you can work anywhere.

Cons

So so many... “Long hours but thats recruitment for you” - trust me, its not recruitment, its this company trying to trick naive graduates that 12 hour days on significantly less than minimum wage is the same for all graduate/recruitment jobs. Next to no training, but high scrutiny if you don’t know something about the job. Terrible culture, absolute silence during ‘Prime Business Time’ as employees shunned for talking to each other at any point, made to feel guilty about taking a toilet break. Similar atmosphere to a primary school detention, that lasts for over 60 hours a week. “Only hire graduates” - not because they are looking for top graduate talent, because any experienced recruiter from a decent firm that goes into this company would laugh and leave almost instantly.

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.
