Avoid like the plague
Pros
Can't think of any pros.
Cons
- Family run business where the spoiled members of the family get away with doing no work all day and the rest of us are treated like machines. One family member grassed us up every time we were 5 minutes late to return after lunch. - I was always promised to leave early if I hit target, then when I over achieved, I still had to stay late on Fridays hammering the phone to badger prospects who have already said "no" to a meeting. They always drained us for more and more until we burnt out. - We used to get told off for not unloading the dishwasher. "Sorry mate, hire a cleaner, I didn't sign up for this". - Hired on the promise of being a Trainee Management Consultant. In 1 year, I had no exposure to management consultancy whatsoever, and just sat making cold calls from 8.30am to 6pm every day. - Hired and fired 9 sales employees within 2 years. Only keeping two on at a time. - Terrible commission model. - Zero career opportunity despite constant promises of promotion. - Forced to illegally obtain mobile numbers of prospects by lying to company receptionists/PAs/anyone who will pick up the phone.
