Pros

Maybe that you can get a job with them even without any prior experience, even though that you are not qualified, even though you can't really do it... ? Is that a plus?

Cons

Where to start. Low pay, they dingle the "carrot" people promise, and potential of promotion, but you can only move up if you are a brown nose type of person. On many occasions, they overlooked qualified people just to get a person, that will always do what they are told, without asking any questions. They give a phone, tablet, car, and brag like it's something special. This is a standard in many companies, and the equipment is much better. 3 sales call a day, really is that needed? It never actually improved the results, but always stresses the reps. In one call each rep has to do 3-4 reports, some 100+ questions, and then they are required to do 15 calls a day, and drive 100 miles in a day. Plus weekly report, monthly, and so on. Oh yeah, the budget for a lunch - £5 WOW, just wow They are good at spinning things and making people believe in them.

Thank you for taking time to review us. You've pointed out that we hire people without experience - depending on the role, we actually see this as a plus. For many of our entry level roles, we are happy to consider people who have the right attitude and a willingness to learn; skills can be taught. This can also bring a welcomed fresh perspective to our teams. We are quite proud of the large number of promotions and developmental moves we are able to provide our employees. This is done in a fair and transparent way through an interview process that focuses on all key competencies of the job. Our HR team would be happy to discuss your concerns if you would like to get in touch.
