Pros

Well, not much positives. Typical hire, fire company with a few perks that make it sort of worth it

Cons

So, when I joined, the company and vision was clear. But after a short period, I realised that they have a terrible bullying culture, if you are not hitting your sales targets, you are berated publicly, the training is poor, you are basically in a cult where they all expect you to praise the owner like he is a god. But in reality he has created, led and promoted a company that treats staff terribly. The male to female ratio is not good, there is lewd behaviour from managers towards young girls. They have a board of immature, baseless, talentless individuals who make big decisions without any really experience or leadership qualities. What could have been a great company, turned into another typical recruitment firm who have no respect for staff, mental health wellbeing or their clients. Casually they slate clients who they work with, throwing insults even recording disrespectful comments about candidates and clients on the CRM system. Worst mistake of my life was joining these pretenders. The CEO is nowhere to be seen, but expects everyone to pander to his terrible culture

Pros

Really supportive culture - if you have an idea for something internally or want to change directions within the company they'll support you to do so. Worth noting that they're really supportive outside of work too if ever people are having personal difficulties. Culture is big on the agenda, but comes down to rewarding people for their work, supporting ambition, and generally being a nice place to work with nice people. Just got back from our company ski trip where they sent 130 of us to the slopes for a couple of days which was a great chance to bond with people from other teams etc. which always gets a bit harder as the company grows. The role can be hard at times - it's recruitment after all, but the commission scheme rewards good work, and the company recognises those going through trickier times and will offer additional training and support where they can - but asks for a good work ethic in return. Fantastic management at the top - really clued in to the business, and really open. The MD sits on the floor in an open-desk environment and will genuinely make the time for you and listen if you need it.

Cons

Company grew really quickly last year and with that there will always be changes which people need to adapt to. Having said that, all teething problems are are always addressed and rectified.
