Mckenzie Holland Reviews

Pros

The people who I worked with for the period I was there were incredibly influential on my knowledge of business and start ups, I have never really had that kind of mentorship before in my life.

Cons

We worked pretty long hours compared to what I am used to but the information I got was worth it

Advice to Management

Keep up the good mentorship!

Pros

- Good mentorship and training & good people - Great positive environment - Social - Nice office

Cons

- No parking - Hard work

Pros

Office looks great, full of energetic people, very close walk to central station

Cons

I walked out at start of field trip '2nd interview' $0 base, 100% commission pay, they will avoid that subject too! Door to door sales after using public transport.

Advice to Management

Be honnest, dont waste people's time. Dont falsely advertise on seek what you cant deliver.

Pros

Personal and professional growth is encouraged with regular clinics and one-on-one mentoring. Help is always available, you only have to ask. So many of the skills learnt in this role carry over into every day life. It is up to each person how far they want to go and how quickly. It's a great place to start to gain experience for whatever you do in the future, in this business or the next. I've been lucky enough to... go on business trips around Victoria and NSW which keeps it exciting. I also enjoy working in a team of like-minded people who are fun and motivated.

Cons

Sometimes the travel arrangements are a bit messy so we end up wasting time. We aren't allowed to make too much noise because there are other offices nearby. In a young and fun environment this is fairly challenging.

Advice to Management

Time for a bigger office. I think we have almost outgrown this one. Paintball for the Christmas Party?

Pros

- Extremely positive work environment. Everyone was so welcoming, and they helped you to do well if even I was struggling with something (no negative nancys) - Progression opportunity. I've worked in hospitality and education before and the progression opportunity was a big drawcard for me, especially given my only real sales experience was in high school at the cafeteria! - It's helped a lot with my general... confidence when talking to people outside of work and in my day to day life

Cons

- Parking was limited and a battle. Ended up using underground parking which was $10-12 a day. - Didn't know I need to dress so formal! I had never worn a suit before so had to go and buy a couple of them

Advice to Management

The morning music was always dance music - can't we get some heavy rock?

Pros

Great motivational speakers, encouraging and helpful. Great potential for earning good salary and quite a sociable company. Makes you want to be more ambitious to achieve more for self satisfaction and appreciation

Cons

Can be a bit repetitive, long hours and not always the best journeys to and from work. The lack of on site parking can be an issue and needs to be addressed. Need to put the hours in to achieve results, when you are tired you don't feel like it.

Advice to Management

Probably need to reword the job description as not clear what you are signing up for, more training on good sells techniques. More thought on wording of adverts

Pros

I enjoyed working at Mckenzie because it was a really social environment with a lot of support despite it being hard work. They foster entrepreneurial mind-sets which is exciting to see from a company.

Cons

Sometimes the atmosphere is a bit cheesy but this is to creative a positive environment.

Advice to Management

The business trips to other cities and locations are often 5+ days which is hard for me and my children.

Pros

Good environment, good people, good location

Cons

Was not true with their advertising about marketing and sales, basically door-to-door sales.
