Pros

There are no positives to working at D R Newitt.

Cons

D R Newitt prides itself on being an 'old school' recruitment company. It takes enjoyment from setting unrealistic KPI's, micro - managing its staff and promoting bullies into Senior Management positions. D R Newitt has the culture of 'if your face fits' and if it doesn't, prepare yourself for a horrific experience. Expect to be treated like you are in school - if popular, you will be treated with trips and ad-hoc perks. However, if the two Directors decide they don't like you , you will be pushed out by force. D R Newitt is a company thriving on scare tactics. Plasma screen TV's line the walls detailing who isn't achieving and they tell (demand!) their own staff to write positive Glassdoor reviews for them while they delete negatives. Even once you have come to your senses and left, horrible rumours are spread by Senior Management to all your previous peers and I have even seen threatening letters being sent out warning against future employment. I have been in recruitment a long time and can confidently confirm, I have never worked for a more horrific company or Senior Management Team in my entire career. Avoid D R Newitt at all costs.

Pros

I don't tend to write these as everyone has a different experience. However, I do find it odd with Glassdoor when reading reviews as there always seems to be a bad review followed by 5 positive ones. Now i know why! Clearly, internal staff members being advised to write good reviews which is quite worrying on their part. I don't like to talk bad of any workplace and i am sure Dr newitt can be a decent place for someone with the right temperament. There are class people who are still there working! It also has a good commission structure however, i would advise any prospective employees to consider all options before moving into this company. Upon joining a new company, I had to start again as the way you are 'trained' is not industry standard!

Cons

- Management - poor salary - No career ladder ( just bigger target on your back) -Very Cliquey - make up the rules as they go -Favoritism I failed to take advice when i moved here and it was my first recruitment role! I can't believe the difference when you join a proper recruitment company who have policies and opportunities ....less about fitting into the mold and more about making your own mold! Avoid!!
