Pros

I have been working at The Directory Guys for just over two years now. I initially started in a sales role and it was only supposed to be a stepping stone job for me whilst trying to get back on my feet. I was in sales for a year, it had a togetherness/family feel about it. Although it didn't quite work out for me in sales, they found a new role for me in a customer service rather than just letting me go like a lot of companies normally would. The people along the way have helped me in so many ways; progression, experience, knowledge within the industry and people management. With the help of colleagues and mangement, I have now become a team leader and progressing within the company. The path of progression is very clear and with the right work ethic and attitude it is achievable. What started off as a sales stepping stone job has turned in to a fulfilling career with great progression opportunities.

Cons

Cutlery is on the short side

Pros

It was a relatively short commute. Parking available. Shops for lunch nearby.

Cons

The job is selling a product that doesn't do what you tell customers. Basically we charge other small businesses a fee to advertise in google maps. But as you know, you cannot affect the results here by simply 'buying a space'. It's based on locality. And there is nothing you can do to make your business appear if the customer is searching from further away. THATS WHAT THEY SELL! And because these small businesses are not covered by the Consumer Rights Act, they have little to no recourse after being misled into buying a subscription. When they try to cancel, we just keep charging them anyway. The environment is hugely toxic, and I'm not normally one to describe work environments this way as you can never get on with everyone you meet, but this place is something else. I've seen things in that office that I can't write here without the review getting removed.
