Pros

The people that work there are very nice and positive. Super welcoming too.

Cons

This company is a joke. They contacted me because a headhunter had sent them my CV and invited me for interview the next day. I agreed and I went through 3 rounds of interview and then went to the ‘office’ in London to do what I thought was admin and contracts but they don’t have legally binding contacts that you sign they just have “agreements” which they email to you. You have to register as a self employed sales person. THIS ROLE IS 100% COMMISSION BASED and I wasn’t told about this until very far into the process. You are expected to go out all day cold calling in an area in London. You’re supposed to knock on 100 doors a day and get 4 sales... I didn’t know any of this until I went to the office, none of this was explained during any of the long interview process. If you’re wanting a career in sales or marketing this is not the business for you because they keep you in the dark completely and spring all of this on you at the last minute. It’s a cold calling role and nothing more. Please don’t waste your time on this company. Also, they used to be called Inspire212 look at the reviews under that company name and you will see that I’m not the only one saying these things. It’s wrong of them to mislead people like this.

Pros

Taught me resilience, but that’s that

Cons

Where do I even begin. You’ll get interviewed and to anyone reading this, you will get the job. Don’t let their FOR (fear of loss) tactics scare you. This has to be the most toxic environment I’ve ever experienced. From being yelled at in front of people, to begin physically harmed by a partner company’s CEO (Paul Gillet who now has apparently found god and apologised to anyone who’s worked with him in the past 8 years), to being made to buy drinks, clothes, train tickets etc to the people you were training. I was promoted to train people as I was one of the leaders in field sales. In my best week I’d get 700, worst nothing but mostly 300 or so. But that becomes nothing when you get forced to buy all your “work trip” train tickets, food on field and then the compulsory team building night (every night) at some over priced London pub. I was told I need to buy the 3 people I was training beers because it shows leadership. And it I didn’t, you get bullied and told how you won’t make it or that you need to make more money to do it. Long story short, this isn’t a digital marketing job, it’s not a career, it’s not an opportunity. It’s a pyramid scheme where you have the chance to get to the top by manipulating, bullying and by selling your soul. If you have any sense of selfs worth, stay away. Because it would be torn from you within a month. Last thing, how pathetic are these paid 5 star reviews 😭😂

Pros

None apart from meeting some nice people (not the managers)

Cons

100% commission and they expect you to work six days a week from 7am to 11pm. They used to be called Inspire 212 but had to change their name due to the shocking reviews under that name. Everything they do is self serving and they lie about progression. For your own sanity avoid at all costs!!! PS all the 5 star reviews are written by people in the company itself they’re all fake if you see a 1 star review that is the truth.
