Pros

I did receive a job at the end of the assessment day process. I have currently been working there for several months, but we were actively lied to about the company. Lied to about salary, role, and development training. They actively painted a picture about the companies and roles they place you in that are highly inaccurate and irresponsible.

Cons

The sales training that they provide is absolutely pointless. Little to no research was done on the companies they are sending people to. A severe lack of communication between Pareto employees and the people they are supposed to be helping. They only care about the money they receive from placing desperate young people in inadequate roles.

Thank you for your review. We're very sorry to hear that you've felt you've been lied to. In business 25% of graduates leave their first role within a year, however, Pareto’s retention at entry level is significantly better than the national average, and something we really take pride in. We're really sorry that this hasn't been the case for you. Also, you mention that the training was 'absolutely pointless'. Our graduates always speak very highly of the sales training they receive with us at Pareto. In fact, many of our 'Grads to greats' who are now in some of the top sales positions worldwide accredit their success to their initial training and placement with Pareto. You can find full details of this on our homepage. We really value your feedback and we would be very keen to discuss this issue with you further. Please don't hesitate to contact HR@pareto.co.uk and we can hopefully come to a resolution for you. Thank you.
