Pros

Company have potentially a great suite of products that should enable SME to remain compliant and secure themselves against compensation claims for unfair dismissal and/or health & safety claims.

Cons

Micromanagement is on a whole complete new level to anything you've ever experienced, no trust shown to its' field-based employees and appointments made are being lied to or misled at best as to the legality of the need, with companies facing 8-12 calls a day - its' bordering on harassment. Speculative earnings are generally not achievable and the fact that you have to wait 9 months to earn commission with a basic that is then halved after your first year reverting to amongst the lowest of any sales job around makes this is very high-risk earning environment for most as the security is not there. And god help you if you go off sick!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased that agree that our service is helpful for SME's. The sales team are provided with an in depth 4 week training programme which most BDM's pass. After this you are supported by your field sales manager. Furthermore, each quarter all BDMs are taken off the road and provided with a full day of training at the quarterly sales conference. The sales team all work to targets and if you achieve those targets you will receive commission and / or bonus, these targets are set fairly and consistently across whole sales team. We take your comments around harassing companies very seriously and would encourage you to share your feedback with us so that we can discuss your comments further. Please email us at feedback@croner.co.uk and we will be happy to assist. Thanks Croner
