Pros

Its difficult to be positive about an employer that was so stifling and paranoid. The only aspect that was positive was the people I worked with. As you would expect, all the people that were interesting and had potential left to pursue more rewarding jobs.

Cons

'Peter Ingram' is a smoke screen for who is the actual current director, David Shields, who can only be described as a paranoid schizophrenic. Working for someone who checks on your progress every 30 minutes and loses it when you haven't got another poor overqualified graduate coming to the assessment centre, was not an enjoyable environment to work in. I guess this is understandable as the company is in financial ruin after its parent company, Howard Jackson, went into administration. If you value a career with a financially stable and rewarding company then Celsius is not the company for you. It's laughable to say 'in the last 3 months the company has gone through significant changes including a new management team, a dress down policy and complimentary breakfast'. For a start, the company has no more that 12 employees in total so its difficult to understand how theres 'a new management team' where it only consists of 1 director/ owner. Complimentary breakfast is only offered 1 day a week as an incentive for you to work un-contracted hours and 'a dress down code' is something employers have had in place for years. Well done Celsius for catching up on trends 30 years after they come into fruition. Employees, prospective accounts and graduates would do well to stay with companies with some actual longevity and professionalism and not a morally warped dictatorship style organization who's staff's only incentive is to not get fired.

Having read the above post, I certainly do not recognise the portrayal as a true reflection of our company. I would say to anyone considering joining us, or working with us, I am completely happy to furnish you with the mobile numbers of any of our team members so that you can have an off the record chat. There are always two sides to every story! Ask whatever questions you like and we will leave you to make your own mind up. All the best

Pros

I have worked at Celsius for the past 18 months as the ISM Training Manager. This is a young, energetic and fast paced company that works with the cutting edge of the technology industry and like any job role it is not for everyone...but for graduates of any subject who wish to cut their teeth within the fastest growing sector in the world it is the go to place for building corporate experience and credibility. Over the last 3 months the company has gone through some significant changes including a new management team, dress-down policy, complimentary breakfasts and new incentive scheme and so the best way to find out more about us would be to come on in and check out our company culture, we'd love to meet you or check out our LinkedIn page for updates and photographs of the brilliant graduates that I regularly train-up on the ISM Diploma in Professional Sales.

Cons

Whether you're coming to us as a prospective recruiter or sales professional, it is inevitable that you will be towards working targets, sometimes within a pressured environment but just like when you were at uni, you'll reap the rewards; whether your motivations are financial, career-focused or to work with a like-minded, sociable team (I'm based at our Sale office and can vouch that we have a fantastic recently refurbished and reasonably priced local pub whilst our London office is right in the heart of the city). We want you to well and will provide you with all the support that you need.
