Pros

Work long hours get paid peanuts (good if you like peanuts) You might get to go somewhere nice. Training is of a good quality and will allow you to get a better job else where.

Cons

Long hours (you'll be judged if you leave on time) 6/7 day work weeks (I'm not kidding) bet they don't mention that in the interview! Once you start doing well, they'll tell you to move onto a different pay structure. This lowers your basic salary drastically and gives you an extra 10% commission. Once you move onto this structure you have no choice but to earn Money otherwise you'll earn a pittance that month. Oh and every week your first £700 profit you get paid NOTHING on. Support from managers is non existent. No chance of progression unless you're there for almost 2 decades. Company full of bullies. They'll show you all these underhanded things they do to squeeze unreasonable amounts of money from clients and they dress it up with 'good service'

Pros

Some great people. Fun atmosphere in the right team. If management like you and you are trying, they can reward you with holidays.

Cons

The lowest pay of my 30+ years. £700 must be paid to the company every week before you can get any commission. It's almost criminal the wages. If a mistake is made at any stage the broker must always pay out of their own pocket and the company never has any losses because of this. They expect you to work everyday and till very late. Taking a lunch is unheard of!

The Lotus Professional Group (LPG) is a boutique firm specializing in Talent Management in Miami, Florida. I founded the Lotus Professional Group in 2015, and we work in the United States, and locally in South Florida (NOT in the United Kingdom). I am solely responsible for the Lotus Professional Group, and the only person who has been by my side during this journey, is my daughter. I started the LPG after 30 years in corporate America and with a career in Human Resources. Prior to starting the LPG, I was employed for over 23 years at a prestigious wealth management organization. I am very proud of my accomplishments in corporate America and the Lotus Professional Group. Professionalism is of the utmost importance to us, and we are known for our strong work ethic, uncompromising integrity, trust and responsibility. My daughter and I have the utmost respect for each other, our clients and candidates. Hence, it is obvious that this review was not intended for our firm. Please advise as to the actions I need to take to have this corrected. Thank you! Olga M. Halley
