Pros

Depending on who you get as your mentor, they can be extremely helpful & want you to succeed, even giving incentives to be able to bolster your progress. Colleagues can be very nice if you click with them and get on with them, they can help with certain parts & some of them are lovely.

Cons

The business model is not feasible, they want to you to be able to move out to Dubai & live on £1200 a month, inclusive of rent, paying for your examinations, paying for LinkedIn services & paying for a data source, if you do not have a good amount of savings within this job you will likely be unsuccessful in the role. 90% of your time will be spent prospecting (searching on Sales Navigator on LinkedIn) as this is what creates a good BDA, the other 10% is spent cold calling, in which everyone within the ME has heard of deVere and will shout 'deVere's a scam' down the phone before hanging up, which has meant that within your cold calling approach you state you're from a pensions or national insurance department within deVere. Lastly, the training department do not manage your expectations correctly, by stating you will be moving onto other things after cold calling for 2 weeks or so, yet there is colleagues there for 2+ years who are still doing the same job you do within them first two weeks, the way to succeed is to ensure you're motivated by a goal.
