Pros
Thor did have some great people working there and that's one of the only good things about working at Thor.
Cons
The management have no clue what they are doing, and when there is a slight downturn in the market or something isn't working, it's always everyone else's fault but their own. They love to tell you how good they were at recruitment back in the early 2010s, but when it comes to giving any relevant advice or guidance within the last decade, they struggle, and instead just blame the recruiters. One of the "managers'" versions of helping is sending you every random person they find on LinkedIn, whether they are in your market or not, and telling you to speak with them. If you point out that they aren't relevant to you, he just gets his back up and starts to moan. I've seen whole teams hand their notice in on the same day. The atmosphere on the sales floor is non-existent. I've worked at a couple of companies and this is the quietest sales floor I've ever heard, other than the odd shout from a manager saying "go on." No original ideas from upper management. They had one good sales day years ago (Wolf of Wall Street themed) and so bring it out every single year like clockwork, same games, the only thing that changes is the prizes, which progressively get worse and cheaper each year. Some other comments on this Glassdoor page suggest that a lot of the people who left weren't the right fit for the business (often underperforming) or didn't want to work hard enough have now left. Companies House would suggest otherwise as Thor's most recent accounts show profits dropped from £450k to £105k (76% decrease) in the space of a year. This would suggest that a lot of the people who left were actually the ones generating a lot of the profit. Blaming those who've left and saying it was their fault is a very good reflection of how the business is run; management are never at fault, it's always everyone else's fault, even when a whole team hands their notice in on the same day. According to them it's because those people weren't good enough not because Thor has systemic issues running through the company. They brought in a new academy of three people and none of them lasted more than two months. The location isn't great either. If you're young and looking to go out for drinks after work, there are a few pubs around and that's it. There are much better recruitment companies with better options and better standing in their market. There's a reason Thor keeps changing focus from oil and gas, to renewables, to SAP, and now the next shiny thing they're chasing is data centres. If you are looking to get into recruitment or are already in it but looking for a new company, I would suggest looking elsewhere. Thor is a very badly run and this is backed up by the owner taken out more money in dividends the the company made profit based off the latest accounts (companies house). Shows the amount they value reinvesting in the company after profits dropped over 76%. Other companies offer much better incentives as well, holidays, lunch clubs and team outings are common in the industry but other companies aren't as cheap as Thor with them.
