Pros

- Plenty of opportunities internally - Excellent internal training & coaching on a monthly basis no matter your level - Great office environment, top of the range equipment - Lots of fun perks including weekly deliveroo allowance, quarterly lunch clubs at high-end restaurants, annual high rollers trip (Dubai, Ibiza etc), annual top biller holiday (Barbados, Seychelles, Mauritius) - If you're a high achiever you will make a lot of money

Cons

If you're not cut out for sales then you will likely not have a great time. This is a results based business.

Pros

I read some of the negative reviews here before joining the company and could have easily been put off, but since my interview experience was positive I went with my gut and took the job. I'm glad I did as although I'm still fairly new I haven't seen any signs of the issues mentioned in those reviews. From my perspective, everyone here including management have been nothing but supportive and welcoming. Training has been thorough and people are happy to help. The office environment is positive not cliquey/full of politcs and it’s a great space to work in with some nice perks like a gym/pool table.. I'm sure there will be tough periods or change but this is the same in any company and has happened anywhere else I've worked in the past. Don't believe everything you read on glass door :)

Cons

- Healthcare/dental nice to have - Opportunity to carryover holiday year to year (easy to lose untaken holiday days in a sales job)
