Pros

Apparently I needed 5 words for pros for this company but turns out I only need one, ZERO

Cons

Everything, management, Work/life balance, shifts that they tell you finish early but you do not, the sheer pressure you are under to do shady things or get fired, and to be honest the worst line in sales(for me personally) some people like door to door, but it’s not me, they use a fancy title but that’s all it is.

Hi there, Thanks for your review. We've made no secret of the fact that sales careers at XLN are challenging. When it works for you, you can be really successful - many reviews and the longevity of many people's careers here are proof of that. But, for some people it just doesn't work out. However, in regards to one or two of your points, it would be great to have a discussion, completely confidentially, to find out more. Please email me at Shamilla.zahid@xlntelecom.co.uk and we can arrange a call. Regardless, we wish you the best of luck in the future. Best wishes Shamilla

Pros

Definitely a work hard, play hard sort of environment

Cons

Lots of politics unfortunately, and high staff turnover at the time, which made it hard to build proper workplace connections and relationships
