Pros

You can make a lot of money if your willing to work 12 hour days, and not make any money at all in your first year. You are paid less than minimum wage because the hours are lied about within your contract. Great group of some motivated people Fun incentives when targets are hit

Cons

Noone knows what they're doing. Blind group of young people leading another group of young blind people. Bad bullying tactics are picked up by the Mackensie Stuart group leadership. They have no plan. Hire graduates so no one realises how bad of a place to work it is No training provided for managers. Managers are stressed, but have had no guidance on how to manage a team, and then get punished for underperformance. Managers promoted based on billings rather than people who genuinley want to manage If you're a man in the company, you can't be different whatsoever. You have to fit in with their bullying/banter culture, or you will crumble. Don't start here unless you love feeling isolated and exhausted. Some of the comments about women are disgusting. Average tenure is really low - look at linked-in. Bad management is reflected in the data

Pros

A dinner every so often doesn't make up for treating employees so badly

Cons

Toxicity beyond belief Bullying and intimidating culture Criminal working hours (contracted 8-6 but you would get booed and belittled if you tried to leave at 6) Absolutely zero work-life balance Ridiculous levels of micro-managing Repetitive work daily, no freedom Emails are spied on daily, managers can remote access your screens and watch you without knowing Managers promoted on revenue not ability to manage/lead - managers meetings become a toxic inner-circle club The fundamental problem is that the senior leadership does not understand how a real company works - they have been in it since University and believe this kind of work environment in normal
