Pros

Working here for quiet a while, I have been through ups and downs. I wanted to leave everything behind and go, I was crying in the corner and yes, it was hard. BUT I have become a better person, a better friend, a better version of myself and I am constantly growing. You earn a lot of commission but for me the personal development is even more important. I travelled the world, did amazing things and I am very grateful. Am I always the happiest person? No. But that is a decision I have to make for myself.

Cons

It is hard work, the first six months you need to sacrifice private time and it can get very frustrating. It requires hard work and if you dont want to invest time on the weekends - which I totally understand - dont apply.

Pros

Very talented people committed to excellence and success. The products are evident of that. Michael Keating is an incredible leader. The company needs more like him.

Cons

Management is the exact opposite. Simon props up the US Managing Director who manages by intimidating staff while he makes no personal contribution to the business. He’s never met with senior client leadership and hasn’t contributed a dime of revenue since he’s been in the states. If he disappeared tomorrow the US operation would begin to grow and morale would improve overnight. The boiler room telephone sales strategy is a dismal failure. Unfortunately senior management knows no other approach.

This makes for interesting reading. We have conducted an internal process and found that a number of the points you raise (the majority) are factually inaccurate. As these comments are wrong, libelous and defaming the company - we have referred them to our lawyer. (db)

Pros

Since there a lot of bitter employee reviews and a lot of fake reviews on behalf of the company, let me set the record straight and be as objective a possible. 1. Great first job.. you will learn a lot of valuable skills and gain impressive experience for your resume 2. The management will invest in its employees to an extent with coaching and mentorship 3. When management is in a good mood culture is fun and easy going, they have company parties about once a quarter which is nice

Cons

1. Poor management: Instead of recognizing employees based on merit. Management plays favorites with those who stroke upper managements ego, especially that of the C-level execs. This happens to an unhealthy extent and causes distrust in management. 2. Upper managements leadership strategy is motivation through chastising sales people. This strategy is recognized by the management, not just saying that. 3. Culture thrives on drama 4. The sales floor can sound like a guys locker room more than professional work environment. Which is fine, but there needs to be some sort of standard.
