Pros

Nice modern office Gym Some people can be nice

Cons

Not sure where to start… very toxic environment. Upper management really arrogant, always smug make you feel bad if you aren’t performing threaten to get rid of you. Everyone is just a robot there, not a social place feel like you can’t talk to anyone unless it’s about work. If you’re close to management you’re fine, if you’re not better be on your toes. They mass hire people then get rid of you even if you’re performing well, then advertise your role the next day and carry the cycle on. I would avoid this place, they make it sound really amazing on the job spec, promise you the world, but in reality it’s nothing like that. You will be depressed and very stressed there, not worth your time or energy working there especially if it’s your first sales job, as it puts you off from doing it elsewhere ever again. Most of the people who still work there started from day 1, hardly anyone there who’s recent maybe a few. Overall, wouldn’t recommend working there.

Akkar Response
2y
Akkar recently parted ways with two employees on grounds of gross misconduct, relating to several incidents of inappropriate behaviour and discriminatory language. Unfortunately these individuals seem to have taken to Glassdoor in retaliation. Maintaining a positive and inclusive work environment is a top priority at Akkar. We take all matters related to employee conduct seriously, and decisions regarding termination are made after careful consideration and thorough investigation. A workplace where all employees feel respected and safe, is a non-negotiable for all. Due to the sensitive nature of these dismissals, there was an expectation of confidentiality from both parties which has not been upheld. Whilst it’s a shame for any employment to end abruptly, Akkar has a zero tolerance policy for discrimination, therefore we encourage these individuals to reflect on the feedback they've created on Glassdoor, and instead consider their conduct during employment. Despite these unfortunate events, we wish both parties the best in their future endeavours.

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