Pros

the training - but it will cost you

Cons

Employees are made to sign a contract, to try and reduce staff turnover. They call it their "training fee". If you miss having a life, and don't want to work 12 hour days anymore; then they will charge you £1000 out of your salary to leave. Lunch breaks, or any breaks for that matter aren't permitted. The company claim to be the best - and they do this by promising Homeowners an over ambitious price for their property. The company bully their customers in to doing everything in-house (mortgage, conveyancing, etc) in order to secure the property of their dreams... but even if a deal is made; there's nothing to stop someone else coming in with a higher offer. This might sound great for the people that are selling their homes; but in my experience any property that has achieved an asking price higher than expected will only be down-valued by the surveyors anyway, So if you want to work for less than minimum wage, and say goodbye to your life; this is the job for you.

I can confirm that there is no estate agency training debt that staff are required to sign , just an award winning training programme that will support you throughout your career with the company. Our teams have the flexibility to have breaks throughout the day but these are taken in communication with colleagues and their manager rather than at rigid set times. Our business may open for 12 hour customer contact but our staff are not expected to work 12 hour working days. Our offices close at 6pm on weekdays and 5pm on Saturdays. We are passionate about helping our customers achieve their dream move and the way we do that is by creating a positive environment and keeping our promises to our customers and each other.
