Suffocating KPIs, no career progression and inept management

Pros

While they invest in good technology this is pointless as the processes in place are wasteful There's free coffee and fresh fruit, no business development

Cons

Regimented KPI-driven environment, only a handful of clients, abusive management, lack of responsibility and career opportunities, very few jobs to work, no chance of meeting clients, terrible commission structure (10% flat), no social events and total lack of atmosphere due to constant emails asking why you didn't make 30 calls in the past hour

Pros

Like another reviewer here you do get semi-decent training if you've never done any sort of cold calling. Some of the staff were good company

Cons

There are a lot if we're all honest. - The two owners are just not very adept - its not a nice thing to say but it is true. - The company and accounts are structured in a manner to ensure agents are kept at the bottom. They will tell you that it's to ensure quality, but it's to ensure that they make more money. - They almost never hire experienced agents. The experienced agents that they do hire are very bad. They see it as a retirement job. One of them makes about 6 placements a year. - Poor treatment of staff - Cannot hold onto the good staff - they all leave for better roles. Advice for agents currently there: Leave for a better company. Better yet, leave for a better country Advice for agents looking to move there: DON'T

Pros

you can really grow in this company, great experience

Cons

flat structure requires some getting used to and it might not be for people who need to be managed, it might be hard for people coming from places where somebody always told them what to do
