Pros

To be completely honest, this company doesn't have many pros. One of them is the city centre location and the other is the person I worked alongside, he was a decent guy!

Cons

I'm actually worried when I start writing the cons of this company, I won't be able to stop as they are absolutely horrendous! By far the worst company I have ever had the displeasure of working for. As you can see, this company states it has 51-200 employees and is "international". Yeah right! When I worked there, there was myself, another employee, the manager and the owner. The day at Mortimer Bell is so chaotic with no sense of direction. Management are constantly talking about how big the company will be in 5 years and do not concentrate on what's happening at this present time. KPIs are changed on a daily basis, generally always increased which make it almost impossible to meet them! Motivation consists of getting told "keep it up guys!" or the owner telling you how amazing he is, how much money he makes etc. The company is NOT professional at all and they have a huge staff turn over. Management will discuss previous employees with such disregard and no doubt they're doing the exact same about myself. The owner is so disrespectful and condescending. The only thing he is good at is belittling you and making you feel like you aren't good enough. As a company they are so cut throat and ruthless it's actually unbelievable. The commission structure would be quite good if you ever got it! The company very rarely wins jobs and when they do, it's always weeks after other agencies have attempted to fill the roles and failed. 90% of jobs on their website are fake!!! You are paid the bare minimum are expected to stay well after your contracted hours for free. Hard work and dedication is NOT appreciated. You are constantly expected to work that little bit harder! It's a joke! I absolutely detested the place and I've never ever been so happy to leave somewhere in my life.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed our city centre location, the reason for the city centre location is to allow our staff to use town or socialise outside of work with friends or colleagues. In relation to staff turnover, we have one of the lowest staff turnovers for our sector, over 80% of our current employees have stayed with the business over 2 years of service. In relation to our salaries our starting salary for a Graduate is £17,000 including Uncapped Commission. We do annual reviews of staff salaries with multiple staff members seeing an increase of basic salary up to £25,000 after 1 year of service example of this being Richard Hindmarch and Craig Hughes. In relation to winning jobs and clients we please kindly ask you to view our Testimonial page on our website where we clearly state the full name of the person leaving the comment, and we are proud to work with such companies as BSKYB, IBM, Capgemini, Epson etc. Nevertheless, I appreciate that there are still many aspects we can improve upon as a business. If you can please contact me directly on 0203 955 6870 that would be great, I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Pros

Office location The employees are all good people stuck in a loop and comfortable which is fair enough

Cons

The training, majority of the reviews are fake and forced. It’s full of lies and quite a toxic place to work. I’ve had worse jobs I guess. I was brought up to treat the CEO the same way I’d treat a cleaner, it’s clear that the CEO wasn’t brought up on the same morals.

Pros

City Centre location. Excellent view of highly popular BrewDog pub.

Cons

Utterly ridiculous place to work. If you survive the 13 hour days, the regular ranting sessions from a management seemingly incapable of deciding what they want to do, and the constant repetitions of 'push it people' supposedly motivating you to work ever harder, then you could have a career at mortimer bell. KPI's change on a sometimes weekly basis. Targets are unrealistic, and not based on reality. A bonus structure is in place, but management will also try and deny you that bonus at every opportunity with ridiculous excuses. Also be warned that the clueless management, who do not contribute in any meaningful way to the activity of the firm seem to operate on a policy of flogging their staff for approx 6 months then making life so unbearable you will either quit or be fired for not achieving ridiculous standards just before you are due to be paid hard earned commission.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughts, although we’re sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your time with us. We absolutely agree that our office location is great and we often go Brew Dog for after work drinks. Our working hours are 8.30 - 6pm and 8.30 - 5.30pm on a Friday, while we do expect our staff to work hours outside of these we would never encourage any of our staff to do 13 hour days, we understand staff need a work life balance and therefore we try to encourage all staff to go home and switch off. In relation to bonus and commision we have run an investigation to show that all commision owed has been paid. Could you please contact me directly on 0203 955 6870 as we would like to discuss the comments you have raised here.
