Pros

Great management, lots of perks, plenty of cash to be made in a supposrtive environment.

Cons

Couple of individuals I didnt like but thats it.

Pros

The database is incredible! Hundreds of thousands of candidates with up to date contact information. Good company branding and culture

Cons

The culture was good when I started but there is not as much fun things going on as there used to be. Still amazing people working there who are good fun!

Advice to Management

Keep adding little perks and treats like we used to as it really makes the difference.

Pros

Bright, spacious colourful office. Smart, casual dress code. Ability to work from 8am - 5pm unlike many other Recruitment companies. Some nice people that you can easily get along with inside and outside of work.

Cons

Very very very (can't stress this enough) heavily focused on targets and KPIs to the point where people compromise the quality of the candidates that they speak to/book in for interviews just to boost their points towards their monthly target. Managers spend the majority of their working day keeping a close eye on the numbers on their screen/tracking the performance of their individual team members. Regular morning...

Pros

A true reflection of their values, Accountability, Communication, Performance and Flexibility. The people are genuine and the management team lead from the front.

Cons

Personal development once past Senior Consultant/ Manager is slow. You can get lost in the day to day and feel like a glorified biller.

Pros

I was at Aspire for 6.5 years and it was great. I could not do what I do now with out there training and support- I left as I needed a change but the team, management and support is some of the best in the industry.

Cons

Great flexibility for senior staff not so much on the more mid level side and can be a bit 'cliquey' but in a company that size is not that bad - over all great working environment

Advice to Management

Keep saying thank you to your staff and keep up the training

Pros

Amazing company culture. Constantly looking to progress and develop you. Really helpful managers. Really good vibe in the office everyone is really friendly. A lot of flexibility! Work life balance. Great location. Branding and heritage behind you. Very well known in the industry.

Cons

The coffee machine is not that nice..

Advice to Management

Keep being supportive and welcoming! Get a better coffee machine!

Pros

I think the office is amazing and everyone is engaged.

Cons

I do not have any

Pros

Learnt a lot, great offices, good benefits and some amazing people. Has been able performance rather than 100% KPI focused

Cons

Change in splits means 10% loss in commission / earning. Constant forced changes cause added stress and more work load. Sense of pressure from above to reach unrealistic targets. Bonus structure isn't competitive.
