Pros

- Has a great external reputation - Great Benefit package

Cons

If you’re considering working for Major Players, I strongly recommend thinking twice. They look great from the outside but this company has proven to be one of the worst I’ve encountered, with a toxic culture that revolves around a ruthless hire and fire approach. They overhire without clear planning, then set completely unrealistic goals that change week by week, leaving employees scrambling to meet ever shifting expectations. The management team is disorganised and lacks any sense of direction or strategy. Leadership is virtually non existent, with managers making decisions on a whim and demonstrating a complete lack of understanding about how to run a team or a business effectively resulting in micromanagement in the wrong areas… Your job security at Major Players depends more on being part of the inner clique than on your actual performance. If you don’t spend your personal time socialising with managers and pandering to them at work events you’ll find yourself sidelined and eventually pushed out with no sense of direction on how to progress. This is a toxic work environment where merit and hard work are overlooked in favor of superficial relationships and quite frankly if they like you or not. Management do not listen when you give feedback or raise concerns nor are they ever honest with you about anything going on inside the organisation. Overall, Major Players is a prime example of a poorly managed company that prioritises politics and favoritism over competence and hard work. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere for a company that values its employees and fosters a supportive, stable environment that you can progress in Long-term.

Pros

None worth noting from my experience.

Cons

I worked offshore for this company and had an extremely negative experience. The environment felt exploitative, particularly toward offshore staff and young people trying to break into the industry. Call targets were completely unrealistic (often up to 200 calls per day), with constant pressure and little regard for quality, wellbeing, or sustainability. There were repeated promises around commission and progression that, in my experience, never materialised. Despite being encouraged to push harder and harder, the rewards simply weren’t there. Offshore teams were treated noticeably worse than onshore staff, with minimal support, poor communication, and a culture that felt dismissive and disrespectful. Management expectations were aggressive, and feedback was rarely constructive it was mostly about hitting numbers at any cost. Overall, I felt misled, undervalued, and poorly treated during my time here. I would strongly caution anyone, especially offshore candidates or those early in their career, to think very carefully before accepting a role.
