Pros

fruit provided every other day, young workforce easy to meet people and make friends. deli on the 2nd floor good although expensive.

Cons

Pay was abysmal for non-sales staff. Pay fell well short of average City levels and decreases in comparison to living costs yearly. No incentive or motivation. No recognition for us as individuals or as a department. No ability to gain management experience or progress. No opportunity to develop skills outside of role. Management titles handled out to employees who had been there longest, regardless of experience or merit just because someone had to do it. Then no support was ever given to them. HR department is a joke, have complained many times about very serious matters (including sexism, racism and favouritism) and was never seriously followed up. Unreasonable KPI's given with no consultation, quantity at all costs which runs from start to finish and is reflected by desperation to get anything on the website daily.

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
