Pros

Some of the people I've worked with are great friends and some events are fantastic to work at!

Cons

Unless you're a "favourite" of the office consultants you are just an inconvenience to them until they have a big event and need you to work! If you're unavailable the girls just won't offer you any more work and blank your calls! Upper management have a rotating door policy and are not bothered with the basic staff!

Pros

It's a no contract job, paid weekly and I've met great people along the way.

Cons

The pay rate is terrible and low for the amount of work you do The consultants are trash and unproffessional They don't always pay the right amount of money you've worked for, so you have to continuously chase them up on it to get all your money. They cancel shifts without letting you know and don't compensate for the travel money you wasted.

Our Birmingham office is our newest office and we are extremely proud of how it is delivering for both candidates and clients. All of our consultants, past and present, have played a huge role in this, and we are grateful that you have recognised the positive investments we made into achieving this. Obviously as this is an anonymous review, it is difficult to know the individual situation. The manager is tasked with upholding the standards we expect as a business and we would always expect them to behave in a supportive and friendly way. We've not had any formal complaints, nor any negative comments via any exit interviews, so it is difficult for us to comment further, but if you would like us to address anything, please contact us.
