Pros

Great CEO. 4 day working week. Good commission structure. Good working space.

Cons

Directors are tunnel visioned and never actually listen to the general staff. Recently becoming more like Nigel Frank with the KPI's and daily target meetings. Not fun. No real opportunity to get to the top. (same old people getting the hand outs) Principle consultants that can't even manage themselves let alone a team. They know who they are. Salaries are pretty low for a company like this in London.

Hi, it's Paul here, I wanted to personally respond. I appreciate the feedback about the business, thank you, and am glad to hear you enjoy(ed) the benefits of our unique working pattern, rewards, and office environment. We certainly try to raise our standards each year, and naturally, we will review how our team are investing their time, but our aim is to give everyone enough clarity and freedom to be their most productive. I appreciate that there have been adjustments as we transition into, and adopt, a new hybrid working process. Hopefully you will see those benefits of our ‘fun and exciting’ environment as we all get back together again. I would really appreciate if you could share your thoughts on how you would like me, and the rest of the management team to help support your growth - whether that’s in your H2 success plan coming up, or even directly with Jon. It is so important to us that everyone in the business feels heard and listened too, so we would encourage anyone to do this if they feel the same. If you no longer work in the business, then I wish you all of the best for the future.

Pros

Good banter and culture is better than most

Cons

Full of very average billers and they used to be much bigger in the past. Very fat around the middle - lots of highly paid people who don't bill so not very motivating if you're a top performer.

Thanks for your feedback. This has been a challenging Covid year for everyone, and one in which we’re very proud to have supported and stood by our motivated and loyal team even when their past results were hard to replicate this year. This how we believe business should be conducted…and so it’s exciting to see this approach is being rewarded as the company has just enjoyed it’s best month since Covid began and January will beat that again. Most of those that we stood by and backed, just had their best months too with £42-£47k months for our top billers. Thanks for the feedback on our good banter and culture. Have a great Xmas.
