The worst company I’ve ever worked for

Pros

Very hard to chose one, but I’d say the office staff located in head office.

Cons

Where do I start? So just to give a little background to this company. Thomson local actually went into administration back in 2013- it was then brought out and re launched. Thinking that this company had learnt from its boiler room sales tactics I decided to join in a hope I would be part of a foward thinking, innovative company. The business is now being run on a day to day basis by someone with a very warped idea of what management, and long term success looks like. There is one philosophy when it comes to management at TL and thats micro management, the company is built on high- volume sales, but without the support. From a business POV The sales model can be very easily manipulated, with sales orders being loaded, only to be cancelled a few weeks later but not effecting the bottom line, and favouritisms being made to certain people. I have no doubt the owner will eventually realasie that he’s being made to look the fool.. If you want to work for a company that supports its employees then DO NOT work here. I took the leap thinking I would be supported in building a career but it’s clear the company want quick success and immediate sales but without the support.

Pros

I have been in my role at Thomson Local for 4 months now and I can honestly say they have been the best company I have worked for. The interview process was smooth and they have an excellent on-boarding strategy. What really stands out is the support that is offered to you from management and colleagues, they really want you to succeed. The commission structure is very good and the company offer brilliant monthly incentives.

Cons

Expectations are high and the role does come with pressure, however tell me a sales role that doesn't have this!
