Pros
Coffee in the mornings SOME fun people in the office
Cons
I was once the naive Graduate who read the negative posts on here and still decided to go on the course. First of all, if you're a graduate, this is NOT a grad scheme. They employ every and anyone, it only operates like a grad scheme when you're in Malta. Once, you go to your location, 98% of people will probably not even have A-levels including your senior manager. - Yes you will do a deal here and there but it will not reach your pockets. - You are paid a "retainer" of £800 - £1100 depending on your location. The small commission you get will be used to pay this off every time. - You'll probably need at least £3,000 in savings, which you will go through fast. - It is possible to find a big deal, BUT it is a needle in a haystack, by then you have done little/no deals and have months of your retainer to pay off. - There's no such thing as a HR department. - You will probably be smarter than the upper management. - It is 99.9% cold calling (apart from countries where it is banned) - This is not a job for grads, all but 2 of the people on my course are left in this company. - The company has a really bad reputation. - This is the worst way to enter into the financial industry, don't do it to yourself
