Pros

There are some talented people at the company and you can learn from these people. I would say the only positive from my time at the company was that it was so bad , that anywhere else was an improvement. If you can work at Dexter’s anywhere else is easy. As such I wouldn’t change my experience.

Cons

-No sense of a work life balance expected to work 60 + hours a week - Really poor basic salary when compared to other estate agency’s - Poor commission structure - directors abuse power - are not subject to any sort of checks - office culture is something out of the 70s - really backward and inappropriate - this was particularly evident in management - progression is based on how close you are to your director and is usually dependent around people leaving the company - the system used is very basic and crashes all the time again something similar to the dark ages - no real perks , holiday is the legal minimum - literally everything is based on KPIs - not just the amount of deals you do week , which let’s be honest is the only important statistic When compared to other estate agencies this is probably up their with the worst towork for

Pros

Wonderful! Outstanding! Incredible! Just some of the many words that can be used to describe Value consulting. They carefully helped me through the process to get our H1B visa. Even through the long and sometimes unbearable waiting times, they kept me believing that I would succeed in the end. Well, thanks to their professional handling of my application I did succeed and now in the US.Familiar environment, nice and, available colleagues. Good salary, very interesting projects, great clients, big exposure to senior management of clients, possibility to work abroad.

Cons

Challenging projects but not bad at all.

Pros

Christmas party is alright. It's free drinks and food. But it's on a Thursday night every year cause they don't want you to drink to much and don't like it when people book the next day off.

Cons

Overworked, treated like a child and spreading Propaganda about the property being fantastic all the time. They discard their staff like candy wrappers. Dexter's management are a real piece of work. The environment they create in the workplace is toxic and encourages alpha male bullying. They want total control over you and believe you should work in the Dexters way. They even tell you how to write your draw your own diary and and do diary check ups once in a while to make sure you comply. How sad that they mark you on how organized your diary is... and if you drawn your diary correctly with two lines in the middle and if you bullet point your tasks correctly. This is no joke. They do this. They say you start at 8:30am and you work till 7pm. But in reality if you turn up at 8:20am they give you a stern telling off. And say that you need to be in before then. They really expect you to start at 7:50am - 8:00am. And you work 6 days a week. People are going to say they pay you well. But if you work out the hours you put in vs the money you get. it levels out to the same as any other job. But Expect to exhausted all the time and treated terribly. Omg and the meetings. They love everyone super pumped and love lip service. You have to tell them what they wanna hear other it's career suicide. If you talk or are seen to be realist and to say the market down. Your seen as negative and that's it your career progression is over.
