Pros

Some friendly people, self employed so no notice period.

Cons

Get to office for half 10 unless you get a text asking you in earlier 11pm the night before. Leave office at 11am and drive to an estate anywhere within an hour drive usually, sometimes longer. Door to door knocking trying to get people to switch their gas and electric suppliers. You do this to 8:30pm and then drive back. Commission only, online job adverts very misleading about this. You are not told its door to door cold calling until you are on your full unpaid observation day and have already arrived at the estate you will be spending your day in. If by lunch time you decide its not for you you have to make your own way home. Promises of rapid progression, run your own office in 4 months vibe, never stayed long enough to find out if possible because if you wasn't making sales by day 2 - 3 you just got talked about, rather than developed.

Pros

Main positive is that’s it’s in a great location. Convenient to get too.

Cons

Very misleading! Door to door sales on commission! Avoid at all cost. Started seeing red flags from the group zoom interview as the manager dances around questions and avoids giving a straight answer. All the positive reviews are posted by themselves and the team to try and look good. Very unprofessional and they constantly lie to people to try and get them to join. They told me their would be a basic but their isn’t. The job Ads online are very misleading.

Pros

Friendly people to be honest

Cons

Didn't get paid as my guy ignored my messages. They fraud people to get their own way through. (Say they're on a better service but in truth they change a few things around and actually get you something that is £1 to £3 more expensive.) Commission only. Have to pay for travel. You walk around from 12pm till about 10pm from Monday to Saturday.
