Pros

I can't fault the people that worked there, enjoyed the working with all of them, a few in particular really looked after me and treated me well.

Cons

There are a lot more cons than pros, first of all the hours are horrendous, I was so sociable before balancing a 50 hour managerial job with a social life once I did this job I was missing out on so much it's 6 days a week and when you first start this is seen as optional however it turns out not to be. I was going out on Saturday night and falling asleep. The days are really long and you just go home and sleep and then you're working again. Everyone else is made out to be stupid if you don't carry on working for them like it's gonna be the biggest mistake of your life if you leave. I spent more at this job than I made it wasn't even covering minimal wage at one point. Business trips have to be funded by your self which you don't realise, not only that you plan it your self and it ends up breaking even, although you are told repeatedly you'll make so much money on a business trip, I went on a few and lost money. Staff turn around is ridiculous, hardly anyone stays longer than a week or two! If you drive don't tell them as you are expected to drive to everywhere, on the business trips to London, Scotland everywhere! Day to day driving to Preston etc and you pay fuel and parking! Just a few little things

EXTREMELY MISLEADING

Pros

There are absolutely NO pros to this company. Please read below.

Cons

Dishonest company, misleading from the very start until the very end. You do not work in "events" like they tell you, you stand outside in the freezing cold selling TALK TALK to the public who rudely reject you. They do not mention how it is 100% commission based, there is absolutely no salary whatsoever. However, you don't even get 100% of the commission, most of it goes to the people above you in the company. They make you feel really special by saying how impressed they are with your CV but they say that to everyone to lure them in. They mention how competitive the job role is - they literally accept everyone. It is a pyramid scheme, they want to hire more distributors (bottom of the pyramid) in order to earn more money themselves. You have to travel up and down the country everyday, work 12 hours everyday with no guarantee that you will make any money. Pay for your own travel expenses. Do NOT be fooled by the big numbers they throw around in conversation, it's all a ploy. Stay away from this company, it is a massive waste of time.

Thank you for your review. At Fortitude Plethora we operate 100% transparency as not being open and honest about our job roles would not only waste our candidates time, it would also be a huge drain on our own resources. This means that our adverts clearly outline the commission aspect of our opportunities and the customer facing work we offer. We're sorry on this occasion you felt this wasn't made clear to you, and would love to resolve this issue directly.
