Pros
You can make money but only if you work like a dog and can put up with being treated like dirt.
Cons
To become a sales advisor with Hillarys you have to pay them £2500 to start and then fund yourself on a three week training course. For this outlay, Hillarys guarantee you absolutely nothing. They don't guarantee you will make a living, they don't guarantee they will give you enough leads, they don't guarantee anything. It is sink or swim. If you sink, they don't care, they've already got your money and they'll just move onto the next mug. If you persevere, they'll just treat you like dirt. Make a mistake and you'll have £40 deducted from your commission. Make 10 mistakes and they'll take £400. It might not even be your mistake but they'll still blame you. They won't even tell you they've taken the money or why. Why would they? You're just an advisor. You'll be expected to fix all their mistakes though at your own expense. No-one cares if it's their fault. You'll have to go to at least one meeting a month, at your own expense of course, and listen to the 'experts' from head office. Please, please, ignore all the five star reviews for this company. This is not just a terrible job. It is a money making scheme for Hillarys.
