Pros

I didn't find any pros.

Cons

Not sure where to start, few of the reviews of people like me have me covered. I will do my best to be specific. No Empathy for your situation Dont treat you like an employee, treat you like they did a favor bringing you to Dubai by giving you visa. Most of the management don't know what they doing. HR Sucks big time and always favors the company side. Not transparent at all. Make you 250 cold call a week which is illegal BTW in Dubai and if your luck runs out they will simply wash their hands by saying that they didn't ask you to do so. They hire 19 to 21 yo and take their passports away and won't give you back till you pay them their 7000 AED, which is also illegal as they signed the legal contract themself and you won't have any idea what is your rights. Hire 20 to 30 trainees PM and most of them leave as training sucks, they will leave you to do the job which you wont know how to do which will make you anxious and you end up leaving like me and get stuck at the airport as they canceled my employment without me knowing and put a complaint against me that I owe them the money. I can go on all day but cut it short, no one is happy as they have their favorites to whom they have given best areas and they making their millions from their and other people are just rats to them. Hence STAY AWAY

Pros

Nice offices and location Individual performance is recognised and rewarded Good CRM

Cons

Earning potential is massively exaggerated during interview process, only a handful of people are actually earning as much as they say you will Hire too many people approx 15 a month all doing the same job which felt like there wasn’t enough leads to go round 7500 dirham (£1700) fee if you leave the company which isn’t mentioned during interview/application. passport is held by the company so you have to pay before they give it back Socially hostile office environment Also there are 15 x 5 star reviews on here all written by ‘current employees’ all in July 2020. It is obvious you have incentivised staff to write reviews

Pros

If you come to Dubai with at least £25,000 to survive, work 7 days a week making cold calls to unwelcoming recipients and also are bestowed with an abundance of luck, you might just make it out here, eventually get onto sales and then make some very good money.

Cons

Too many to name. First and foremost, whatever idea you have in your mind of what it’s like to work for this company, eradicate it immediately. Like anything in life, it takes time, resilience and hard work, but that is an understatement at Allsopps. Firstly, the barber shop in their office is literally a bloke on a chair in the corner of a room, and the Coffeehouse is one desk with two unfriendly chaps selling you overpriced beverages. If you’re starting on lettings, then be prepared to make hundreds of endless cold calls with little to no luck. But don’t worry, the rest of your team in your designated area are just as disinclined to help you as the management as it’s a dog eat dog business and the management have their favorites who are more likely to get deals across the line. I didn’t receive one single lead in the month I was in the business. If that’s not bad enough, after a few weeks, another boatload of unsuspecting newbies will show up to either to replace you or struggle alongside you in the same manor. Try not to make too many friends in your intake, as they all start to drop like flies after a matter of days. The recruitment in this company resembles that of a Ponzi Scheme, where the employees take ALL of the financial risk and the company bares NONE. Other firms in Dubai will offer you a phone, laptop, paid RERA and broker card, none of which is provided by this company. After years of working in business, I can tell you without a doubt that the attitude of this company is to over-employ on a dramatic scale, bare almost no financial risk, and sit back and relax whilst you either sink or swim and their forfeiture funds start rolling in from those who don’t stay. Me and other colleagues joked that senior management have a “Squid Game” type set-up in one of their offices with all of our faces on, slowly watching us drop off and gambling on who leaves and who stays. BE WARNED AND ALSO REACH OUT TO OTHER COMPANIES TO GET ADVICE. Also, be advised, I have absolutely no reason to give anything but a truthful review of this company and this is coming from someone with years of sales experience. Also, be aware that 90% of the employees and the English that live and work out there are narcissistic sociopaths.
