Pros

I can't even think of a positive

Cons

I was employed for one day, which I think says it all, following the end of my day there I left in tears as I was so let down by a job that had so much promise. I was lied to about the job itself, being told it was a marketing assistant and in fact it was a door to door sales job which is not what I want to do, nor what I am qualified for. A further lie was I would have a salary of £24,000 which was in fact only achieved through commission it turned out, so only minimum wage was guaranteed to come into my bank weekly. Not a way of working I want nor what was advertised. I also never read my contract as I was not given this on my first day which is another enormous red flag!! The hours is another thing I was lied to about, it was made out to be a 9-5 job, when in fact it was 12-8pm, completely unsustainable working hours which would make life just about working, nothing else. Also expected to attend all events outside of work to network which would also minimise the time I could spend with my family. The office also had extremely loud music playing like a club, which made it impossible to concentrate on any training I received on the day I was there. The managing director seemed nice but also like he doesn't give a toss unless you are earning money for him. I am disgusted this company has got away with lying about the job, salary and hours to multiple people after connecting with others that started and left at the same time as me! Further to this I also left a Google review of the company three times which was deleted every time.

Pros

Decent people good to communicate with lively people If doing door to door sales is your role then you do you..

Cons

When seeing this post as an accounts manager, you would think it’s more office based and supporting existing customers maintaining relationship and other non cold calling based work. But on a real you end us rehearsing lines in a room with 20 people with blasting music which doesn’t help… someone left the organisation due to the culture being too toxically positive… and in reality they’re right. On top of that I never really got told this was a door to door sales there’s not fixed salary, and you end up signing a contract without any context or actual insight to what you’re signing. Furthering to that I was offered an opportunity to go on a ‘business trip’ with work but you end up paying out of pocket rather than company paying which is unfair if it’s classed as a ‘company trip’. And I’ve never received the money back when speaking to the director. Feels like despite working I’ve lost more money working there than I earned I walked away from the company and instantly quit in 2 weeks of working

Pros

Nice boss, very motivating and chatty. No contract, so I just handed in my notice and left after 1 convo w him, thankfully no notice period to see out or anything

Cons

It’s a door to door sales company, you work solely on commission, hours are 9:30am-8pm AND NOBODY TELLS YOU THAT UNTIL YOU HAVE ALREADY STARTED THE JOB. If that’s ok with you, great, but it was not what I was looking for or was led to believe I was getting. Girl who interviewed me promised me the earth in mentoring, support, said she’d greet me on my first day, told me multiple times to ring her once I arrived, ect. Got there my first day, she didn’t answer her phone, someone else said she’d gone on a training weekend down South???? Liar. She also kept avoiding my questions about my contract, said I’d get it on my first day, I got there and was told there was no contract. Liar. LinkedIn photos are skyscrapers and fancy looking offices in MediaCity, so then why is it a ramshackle deserted looking loft above a nightclub in a back alleyway in the City Centre? If it was just up front about what it was that would be ok, nothing wrong with being a small, commissions based, door to door sales company. So why sell themselves as a successful Marketing company with offices all over the world and a £25,000 pay?? Don’t believe the 5* reviews on Google
