Pros

Taught me resilience, but that’s that

Cons

Where do I even begin. You’ll get interviewed and to anyone reading this, you will get the job. Don’t let their FOR (fear of loss) tactics scare you. This has to be the most toxic environment I’ve ever experienced. From being yelled at in front of people, to begin physically harmed by a partner company’s CEO (Paul Gillet who now has apparently found god and apologised to anyone who’s worked with him in the past 8 years), to being made to buy drinks, clothes, train tickets etc to the people you were training. I was promoted to train people as I was one of the leaders in field sales. In my best week I’d get 700, worst nothing but mostly 300 or so. But that becomes nothing when you get forced to buy all your “work trip” train tickets, food on field and then the compulsory team building night (every night) at some over priced London pub. I was told I need to buy the 3 people I was training beers because it shows leadership. And it I didn’t, you get bullied and told how you won’t make it or that you need to make more money to do it. Long story short, this isn’t a digital marketing job, it’s not a career, it’s not an opportunity. It’s a pyramid scheme where you have the chance to get to the top by manipulating, bullying and by selling your soul. If you have any sense of selfs worth, stay away. Because it would be torn from you within a month. Last thing, how pathetic are these paid 5 star reviews 😭😂

Pros

The relationships you build with people are great because you all have the worst job ever.

Cons

Any positive review is fake. The whole thing is a pyramid scheme. You are on the street trying to sign people up for charity come rain or shine (even snow). Jenna the "owner" is a liar, a cheat and generally one of the worst people i have ever met. She treats people like they are poo on the bottom of their shoe and has her minions like Declan another failed "owner" who is now on the streets harassing people after his own business failed. She claims to have rang the bell (4 sales in a day) 212 times in a row but i was on the field with her when she did 0 sales and was trying to sign up literally anyone including clearly vulnerable people which was disgusting to see. Do not trust anything she says truly a terrible human being. Finally she tried to get a colleague to terminate their pregnancy all in the name of money so the person would still come into work. If that doesnt tell you all you need to know i dont know what will. You might see this business come up as Inspire 212 of whatever name they change it to because reviews are so bad.
