Pros

Good loyal people Strong brand

Cons

-Continues to be run by a 'boys club' which is no doubt about to cash-out due to sale -Company being sold so senior management are cutting costs. The commission structure is about to be revised down - Poor approach to women and senior woman such as the new Chief People Officer don't appear to like people which is bizarre! A lot of the time it feels like they're teaching the company to suck eggs despite being the least qualified people in the business, having never done the actual role themselves.

Amazing Experience as a Summer Sales Assistant at Chestertons Covent Garden

Real estate agent

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Spending the Summer in Covent Garden was always going to be a plus. However, it was so much better than anticipated. I learnt so much about agency in the two and a half months I was at Chestertons. The level of responsibility I was able to take on in this role not only enabled an ability to learn more about the art of sales and residential property values in the West End, but also helped me learn about myself as an individual, through for example, trusting my instincts and meeting a wide variety of talented people every day on appointments. The team were so friendly in the office, we had a fantastic laugh and I really felt like I got to know everyone in the office really well! Whether in IT, Lettings or Sales, everyone was so happy to help you. I couldn't recommend this job more.

Cons

No cons to this role.
