Long - Warehouse Associate Harper Robson Employee Review

Might have some fun with other people working

Harper Robson and all it's affiliates at Credico operate under the guise of a professional company, this couldn't be further from the truth. In essence, you will either be going door to door fund raising for charity, trying to convince people to change their energy provider or selling credit cards, or whatever it is that credico (the parent company) decides you have to sell. You will not get a basic rate. It's based purely on commission per sale. Not gonna lie, some people are "good" and can make enough sales to meet the living wage, but for the vast majority of people this just isn't the case. The reason you are paid on commission is because you are "self employed", but you aren't really. You work set hours, you go where you are told and essentially do whatever your manager tells you. You won't ever get a straight answer, and you'll constantly have this carrot dangling in front of you so to speak to convince you to keep working for this scheme. Let's be real, not many people are going to make it to manager and earn the big money managers are supposedly on, but who would want to run one of these ethically and morally corrupt companies exploiting young and vulnerable workers? You would earn more working 35 hours a week at Tesco than 70 hours for Harper Robson. Tesco would probably treat you better too. Google 'Devil corp' for more information on this scam. Its more than just Harper Robson

None - unless you lie selling people things they don't want, in the freezing rain (might be nicer in the summer.

They give you a great speech about expanding, building brands etc. however no one would give me a straight answer. Anyway I got past the initial stage and then I was invited to a training day. This entailed me sitting in a café thinking up 'marketing slogans' while my 'manager' tried to get people to sign up to giving to charities on the street! No one would give me a straight answer but what I gleaned was - It's a self employed basis You will need to pay to get to 'work' in Dundee and Glasgow etc. But, hey, it's tax deductible! During these times you don't need to go home as you all get to 'stay together' which you pay for, so I'm assuming it's a hostel or really cheap b&b. It's not a really serious job. Everyone appears to become a manager after a set time - is this some kind of pyramid scheme??? If any of the above is wrong then it's all because NO ONE would give me a straight answer - and, most worryingly, that included about how much I would actually earn (the ad said starting salary of 17,500)
