deVere Group Reviews

Pros

I've been with deVere almost 2 years and the opportunities are exponential. Its challenging but very rewarding. You get the chance to work in some of the best places in the world. Half your accommodation is paid for which is a massive help when you are starting up. If you are hard working and self motivated you will be noticed and you will be rewarded for it.

Cons

It can take a while to build up a client base so in some locations the basic can be difficult to relocate on but for most its more than enough. People can be negative about this role because you're not spoon fed. You get out of this job what you put in so if you want everything handed to you, expect amazing money for little work then thats why this job is not for you.

Advice to Management

Be more consistent. Some locations have a much better set up than others. Some offices look after the grads extremely well while others haven't got a good structure in place.

Pros

Diverse experience to prove your skills

Cons

little support from office management - survival of the fittest

Advice to Management

more management support required

Pros

I really enjoyed the working with there other waitresses as they were all nice girls, some managers were really chatty and friendly and the food at the end of shifts was a nice benefit. I got to choose when I wanted to work which was nice.

Cons

Working non stop from 4-11 pm made all servers very tired , the new manager was not likeable, and ending up throwing stuff and swearing at staff. Too many guests walked out and complained about the low food standards and waitresses were blamed for this. Poor management in the kitchen lead to food coming out very slowly, and chefs could become aggressive. some staff were very cliquey.

Advice to Management

Sort out the kitchen and times that guests come in as they all come and leave at the same times which is why food comes out slow.

Pros

Salary is ok for a grad

Cons

cold calling all day with no leads

Advice to Management

invest in marketing and get warmer leads

Pros

A lot of resources available and great training provided throughout the company. Very friendly management and a hands on CEO.

Cons

Long working hours, tasks could sometimes get repetitive.

Pros

I did my training with Mark Reed and Lindsay in Malta. It was hard work and they push you hard, but that's only so you achieve the best you can. I am now based in Dubai and loving it.

Cons

Pushed hard and lots of work

Pros

An incredible place for hard working, intelligent, persistent individuals to make a name for themselves. Lots of negative reviews from people that don't make the cut but the majority of people enjoy a long successful career here making an extremely decent salary while gaining invaluable skills for life. Fantastic training, both on the initial Malta course and while starting the job. Great managers who understand that developing us professionally furthers the business.

Cons

Not for people looking to coast through life, only for motivated and truly driven people. A challange at first but personally I wouldn't have it any other way.

Advice to Management

More information when landing on local laws/tax/permits - perhaps an info pack Otherwise couldn't say anything else negative!

Pros

Opportunity to work in very different places and to push yourself under the guidance of veteran salesmen and sales trainers. People will give it to you straight here and if you're the type to enjoy a challenge you'll do great.

Cons

There will be personal expenses incurred - don't be naive about this. Save up a good bit of money and be ready to budget yourself and live simply when starting out.

Advice to Management

Be more transparent about expenses incurred. Not only does it encourage people to quit who you've already invested time and resources in, but it hurts morale and inevitably damages the company's reputation among its own employees which is really a tragedy given that deVere has so many great things to offer young professionals.
