Pros
Some great colleagues and lovely staff, all treated appallingly unfortunately.
Cons
Paid a low salary and expected to work overtime for no extra pay (on the promise that you can earn commission). Often working 8.30am - 7.00pm for £16,000 - £18,000 pa and being pressured into doing so. No real training, given a phone and computer given to you on day two and then told to make cold calls to the other side of the Country. You never get to meet candidates or clients so how can you recruit properly and understand peoples requirements? You are told at interview there are no KPI's and that you are given 6 Months to get your desk up and running. This is a lie and your call stats and every aspect of your desk are scrutinised and you are expended to make money in Months 2 or 3. The Management are constantly whispering in the corner which makes everyone paranoid and there is a constant revolving door of people leaving, almost on a weekly basis. From what I can gather the Management used to be Consultants themselves and often had long spells without billing and have no previous experience in running teams or running a business - its literally the blind leading the blind. The company is losing money and I would be very surprised if it is still trading in two years time. Lastly the positive reviews about working for OSR have been left by employees because they have been asked to do so. Go onto LinkedIn and search for OSR, look how many people have worked for this company and have now left.
