-The salary is very poor compared to the rest of the industry
-The hours are longer than a lot of other places in the industry, as you are expected to work 8-6pm minimum and then generate leads on weekends
-The bonus payouts are very poor. They move the targets around so that they can pay out less money.
-The seniors are rude and unwelcoming as they probably see about 50 employees come and go every few months
-There is asymmetry of information between the internal recruiters and management... what the recruiters tell you about salary/bonuses/working hours etc. is not even true
-Targets are ridiculous and nobody meets them (I saw 1 person reach their monthly target in 8 months)
-They offer 'institutional prices' which are 'better than Inter-Bank' in order to draw a client in then widen them out over time
-It is like being in the army as the breaks are regimented at specific times and if you are not back on the phone 1 minute into your work time someone will comment
-They blast bloomberg news very loud so you can hardly hear yourself think
-You have to wear a tie and suit even when it is 30 degrees
-New juniors were coming in every month and some would literally leave after 1 day of work.
-2 toilets between 40 people
-2 microwaves between 40 people
-Kitchen is filthy
-A whole sales team and its manager got made redundant at the end of a day due to performance... but there is no guidance on how to achieve your targets better - just comments asking why you are so far off
