Pros

J2 is a fast paced and ever-evolving agency that’s built upon the mantra of work hard, play hard. The agency is highly regarded within its respective fields and for good reason. As someone who was inexperienced in property marketing when I first joined, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some of the most talented and knowledgeable people in the industry, which has proved invaluable for my own progression. The senior management team is clearly very ambitious and has a great amount of respect for those with the same devotion to their craft.

Cons

Working in an agency is not for the faint-hearted. If you don't have the natural drive to progress then you may find the work too all-consuming.

Pros

- Flexibility in working hours - Approx 80% of the team (outside of leadership) are genuinely nice - Good work for the property sector

Cons

Never have I come across a company with such a disconnect between who they think they are and who they actually are. This is made worse by senior leadership delusional enough to actually stand by and watch as the gap widens between their words and their actions. It is a toxic work environment with nothing less than a dictator leading the charge and a selection of chosen favourites that support every poor decision made. At the core of the problem is a lack of respect for staff. There’s a clear misconception that if they put on a cool party or pay for a round of drinks after work, they’ve done everything they need to do to show respect for staff. It just doesn’t work like that and people can see through the smoke and mirrors. There’s so many red flags that shouldn’t be ignored. Communication is poor, there’s a huge lack of honesty, there is no trust from senior staff, there’s undeniable favouritism, the benefits package is minimal, growth opportunities hardly come to fruition and there’s a lack of prioritisation of good management. All in all, I would not recommend J2.
