Pros

The staff initially seemed nice (of course later realised I was being manipulated the whole way)

Cons

-2nd stage interview process was TEN hours of free labour from me (taken on bus to second location, unable to return by myself all day), they initially mislead candidates by not telling them they will walk outside at second location for this long. -Pretend to be lucrative, make you feel special (just look at all the titles for the SAME job, the more people they trick time from the more profit for them) -Read other reviews (Glassdoor, reddit), this is a DOOR TO DOOR SALES JOB. You will be forced to walk hours SIX DAYS A WEEK until 8PM in formal wear, bothering people in their homes. -The SALARY stated on websites are LIES, you work on commission, they state starting salary is £200/week for nearly 70 hours work, and even this is an overestimation. -This company is extremely manipulative, it profits by tricking average people, often when they're vulnerable, into HARD WORK for LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE. -Cut throat attitude to customers, saw their "star employee" bully average people in their own homes to give their money for charity because she works on commission. If you care about people, decency, or honour AT ALL, don't waste your time.

Pros

This is a job for those with no Family, Hobbies or Time to spend with loved ones or time to themselves. If you feel like you need to progress in certain aspects of things, such as your flaws in life, then this is a great job to progress. I learnt a lot of things such as, People Skills, Conversational Skills. You are taught to be Self Employed and to make a living for yourself and yourself only. At the end of the day you have no life as you are constantly working even on weekends. you never get time for yourself.

Cons

This is a position of being a part of a Pyramid Scheme. You are told that you are going to make £1000 per week. Its a scam the amount of people leaving within a week of starting is hilarious, you are gong to be pushed aside and left on your own devices You are going to be working 70+ hours a week, And told NO at nearly every door you go to. You are a self employed Door to Door Salesman, getting disadvantaged members of the public to give you there Bank Details to you to sign up to a £10 Direct Debit to a Charity, Make sure you have plenty of money to start this job because I have spent more money on travel and food in this post than I have earned in 4 months of employment.
