Pros
- Aside from Senior Leadership, there are genuinely some lovely people in this company who will help make the time easier.
- Learning and Development, less from any official support and more from being thrown in the deep end, you will learn, or you'll drown.
Cons
- Most importantly, this is simply a company that has entirely lost sight of it's customer, the problem it's seeking to solve and has instead created a highly unsuccessful trojan horse for financial services.
- Senior Leadership operate as sociopaths (I do not use lightly, I've never met a better example of one), there's no emotion in this company and there's (unsurprisingly) no HR to mitigate them. Employees of nearly four years received a pat on the back, literally, for their work.
- The Product is truly awful, years behind the competition and masked by lies, which very quickly fall apart in any kind of conversation. You as a salesperson will then have to sell this.
- Sick Days are part of your holiday, you'll receive messages about work late at night, early in the morning, through the weekend. I think Senior Leadership genuinely believe by paying you, they own you.
- The Mission of this company was made posthumously, to help fill an investor deck, without any actual substance behind it. Employees laugh privately when it is raised, due to how thinly-veiled it is.
- You will be micromanaged beyond belief, every movement you do will need to go through the CEO, who maintains his opinion is best and is immovable. You will simply do as he says.
- Compensation is laughable, no one receives any kind of bonus or commission, partly due to the company tanking and partly due to selfish short-sighted senior leadership.
- With over a decade of experience, I have never been spoken to in the way I was spoken to (almost daily) at this company. Volume, tone, language - aggressive beyond belief.
- As a representative of the company, I was heckled multiple times at events, evidence that the industry has wised up to this company and everyone knows it's true meaning - financial services under the guise of goodness.
