Cons

Long days, no extra holiday days considering essentially you work an additional 26 days a year for free if you work more surely you could give a bit more?

It was probably the place to work as sales negotiator and make money when it was under John Hunt’s management, since going public I don’t think they have kept up with the times and struggle to see how they justify their fees with other competitors fast catching up.

They are clearly losing a foothold and majority market share in London. Simple really, high staff turnover=lose consistency in your product.

Having been a loyal employee in excess of 4 years, which is a lot longer than the average recruit, on leaving felt like I had been there a week at best, just a cog in the wheel.

Ironically having been a massive believer in the brand, I would not sell my own property through them now, they will take every penny they can when you leave.

Great training but don’t stay too long!

Cons

Here is an honest review.
The first time I joined a Foxtons, it felt like a great and super exciting company to work for In terms of commission structure and company culture. As im an enthusiastic, positive person with high energy. This was probably one of the worst company’s to have joined. You could sense the bad energy and very nosey people around you.

Got to front office, shadowed for a week and was learning all the processes and how the structure is day to day. What you then realise is, they depict this great image of working together as a company and a team. But really they’ll throw you under the bus if it doesn’t benefit them. You always have to watch you back, even if you’re in the same team.

Considering it’s a sales environment, you can have friendly work competition. But playing colleagues against each other just demonstrates that this company is full of ‘dream sellers’. And also, creates a lot of uncomfortable tension and hate.

Once you’ve left, everyone in front office will use your leave as a source of gossip and a topic of every discussion, because if you have the confidence to SPEAK UP about how you feel, it’s frowned upon because senior managers and directors EGO’s get bruised, therefore they’ll just dismiss you there and then. Even if you’re courteous enough to still Be accommodating, they’ll treat you like nothing and replace you anyway. That’s why they have a high staff turnover.

This company does not depict corporate or professional, it’s just an image where estate agents hide behind to look like a big shot company.

Cons

Long hours and weekends, no progression. Lazy management, everyone is demotivated so warning to negotiators do not expect to make money!!! Leads are given to their favourite/mates.
Plus they will harass you with court letters to pay for the company car, (which, btw, was checked and handed back in perfect condition!)

Cons

* Staff are often over worked and underappreciated
* Working hours are too long with no flexibility
* Staff turnover is enormous, my entire team left several times over in twelve months
