Pros

Nice office close to shops Friday drinks but if your in sales you can’t really enjoy it Some really awesome people but doubtful they’ll stick around for much longer heaps of resignations happening Good team members offer you support not really a competitive environment everyone’s trying to band together to help each other the parties are supposed to be good

Cons

Not sure where to begin, apparently it was a good place to work and some good money was made but it’s been going downhill Really lengthy process to get the job makes you think you’re lucky to work there but when you join you realise it’s a revolving door with people coming and going allllll the time Really good team members just disappear it’s very bizarre we don’t even get told anymore like just a couple of weeks ago one of the best sales people left and we just get an email basically saying ‘so and so has left, don’t talk about it’. Just shows the complete lack of value of staff Some of the best sales people You’ve ever come across Work here but no one is able to hit target. Don’t believe anyone here thinks the targets can be achieved and missing target is totally normal. Not like any other sales environment I’ve been in. Everyone works hard but noone can show you how to hit and there’s no one you can try and copy to hit it because no one is. Feels like no one has any idea what we are doing, basically our direction chops and changes every week and you can get moved around at any minute with no notice and no say. So much uncertainty. Literally have people crying in the bathroom from stress Can’t talk to managers or anyone above about it They all just say the same things and blame us,’justify, don’t listen. There is no trust and a feeling that no one across the company has our interests at heart Not allowed to source your own leads, but you run out of leads at lunch time and you’re not allowed to ask for more without getting in trouble, then you get in trouble for not being on the phones and having low talk time. So stressful and confusing. There’s no respect anywhere. Your managers speak to you rudely, their managers speak to them rudely not sure how far up it goes but it’s very strange and always get passive aggressive comments and treated like kids Product hard to sell There’s just a blanket of stress and unhappiness across the whole sales side lots of people can’t cope anymore it’s not a nice place to be

Appreciate you taking the time to write this review. We believe that having the right team and building a positive culture has been key to our success at hipages. This is why we take recruitment decisions so seriously. There are a number of steps in the recruitment process, but the outcome is that we end up with such an awesome bunch of people working in the business. Its great to hear that you feel supported by your peers, and that we don't just work hard but also have fun along the way. Within the sales team we are currently in the process of implementing a lot of change. The business has grown rapidly and we are in the midst of setting ourselves up for the next phase of growth. Its disappointing to hear you have felt a lack of support from management and that communication has not been as good as it could be. We will definitely take some steps to address these concerns.

Pros

Some decent direct managers sadly forced to micromanage you due to the upper management They have a snacks trolley Coaching during lunch time. Lunch and learn so we got pizzas or something.

Cons

This company has serious issues. They're always watching you, breathing down your neck about every little thing you do. One of those companies that records your calls and gives you feedbacks. Also try taking a quick coffee break, you will get a call from the senior management and ask why did you leave your desk. The pay is terrible, barely enough to make ends meet. And what's worse, they play favorites, with different rules for different departments. Sure, some departments might be okay, but that doesn't make up for the overall mess. They will even punish their hardest workers because maybe they spent one less minute on the phone than the ‘daily required’. Another way to save money for their own pockets and management bonuses . They work you like a dog. Trust me, you'll want to steer clear of this place if you can. High staff turnover.hipages bad.

Pros

Honestly the other staff are good people, you are extremely challenged (if you see this as a good thing), snacks and monthly team lunches

Cons

Zero work life balance, management blame staff for not meeting targets but they set unrealistic expectations. When you are unhappy you get told to suck it up or quit. Bullying by upper management and its just a sad thing to see c-suite so obsessed by share price they will keep at it with any cost. Turnover is through the roof.
