Pros

Absolutely none, honestly none - it’s so bad - it’s such a shame that there is no option to rate this business with no stars. One is far too many to give it

Cons

It’s called Angela Mortimer but you never meet or see her, it is run by her ex-husband who is now in his eighties and still rules with an iron fist. It’s the most toxic, fear inducing environment. John Mortimer is without doubt the most unpleasant man. He rules by fear, he intimidates everyone in his wake. No one escapes his wrath, he even belittles his girlfriend in front of everyone. It’s hard to believe that a work environment like this exists in 2023. No one’s job is safe, he sacks people as and when he feels like it. Please do not work there. Don’t ignore these reviews- he will tell you they are fake. They really really are not. It’s awful. People are in floods of tears most days.

Pros

Some nice people but that is it.

Cons

Without a doubt the worst place I have ever worked in my entire professional career. Avoid at all costs, the situations I witnessed and experienced in my short time here are genuinely wild. A completely miserable and demotivating place to spend your time. Day in, day out you will be made to feel uncomfortable, incompetent and worthless. The CEO is desperately clinging onto control. I witnessed bullying day in day out. There is no security as he sacks people as and when he chooses, there is no job security or peace of mind. There is no support, no HR department, the fact that a company like this exists in 2023 in central London is completely unfathomable. There are absolutely no positives to working here. They will sell you the dream at interview, the potential earnings etc but you won’t see any of this as the company has one of the worse commission structures in the industry and a completely unachievable profit share scheme. Please make sure you ask lots of questions at interview about the company culture, what it is like to work here day in day out and staff retention levels. No flexibility, long hours and a miserable place to be.

Pros

Nice office space, some decent (but intimidated) people

Cons

If you want to retain a decent state of mental health I would be very cautious about accepting a role here. Also if you identify as anything other than ‘he’ or ‘she’- please don’t apply you won’t be accepted. John is patronising, intimidating and has no interest in anyone’s ideas. There is no point in coming to the business with any experience it’s not what they want. They might as well employ robots and click upload into your brain as you exit the lift onto the floor. It’s Mortimer’s way and his way only. Staff turnover is out of control. People leave as soon as they can find another job, and if you’re fired don’t expect to get paid notice - John doesn’t mind a legal battle, he’ll fight you to the death if you have the energy to fight for your rights or try to defend yourself. What’s legal doesn’t matter to him, Don’t be fooled by people with titles there that would imply they can make decisions or have influence - they have no influence at all. Please read through Glassdoor, please take it seriously.
