      Pros

      I can't even think of a positive

      Cons

      I was employed for one day, which I think says it all, following the end of my day there I left in tears as I was so let down by a job that had so much promise. I was lied to about the job itself, being told it was a marketing assistant and in fact it was a door to door sales job which is not what I want to do, nor what I am qualified for. A further lie was I would have a salary of £24,000 which was in fact only achieved through commission it turned out, so only minimum wage was guaranteed to come into my bank weekly. Not a way of working I want nor what was advertised. I also never read my contract as I was not given this on my first day which is another enormous red flag!! The hours is another thing I was lied to about, it was made out to be a 9-5 job, when in fact it was 12-8pm, completely unsustainable working hours which would make life just about working, nothing else. Also expected to attend all events outside of work to network which would also minimise the time I could spend with my family. The office also had extremely loud music playing like a club, which made it impossible to concentrate on any training I received on the day I was there. The managing director seemed nice but also like he doesn't give a toss unless you are earning money for him. I am disgusted this company has got away with lying about the job, salary and hours to multiple people after connecting with others that started and left at the same time as me! Further to this I also left a Google review of the company three times which was deleted every time.

      Bad

      Independent sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good office culture and that’s about it

      Cons

      They say you can achieve a lot in such small time but they don’t tell you at the start how many hours you’ll be putting in. It’s pretty much slavery work. Doing 50+ hours a week and sometimes getting no sales means that week has gone to waste. They lack sympathy as well towards people

      Dishonest and vague

      Marketing executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Absolutely none? Low pay, no social life, long hours and complete lies about what the position even is

      Cons

      Completely dishonest place. They always advertise positions as marketing excutives, but this is a door to door sales position. I have a degree in marketing and was hired under the guise that I would be meeting with clients directly and often to plan campaigns. All these sort of 'direct marketing companies' AKA DOOR TO DOOR SALES COMPANIES are owned by the same three people. These companies will often change names, but will always have the same three owners constantly changing the names and branding of each company to disguise this. Their ads will always be super vague and intriguing making newly graduated marketers or beginner marketers think it may be a great place to start since no experience is needed. Firstly all the interviews were extremely vague throughout. They use gimmicky words and try and make it sound very ambitious and as a place with a lot of progession, yet what that progression is never is disclosed. They never ever make it clear what your actual duties are. I have a marketing degree and would continously ask okay but what are the actual duties and day to day of the job, and would constantly just be told to plan campaigns, meet with clients to make marketing strategies and to meet potential clients. All of this sounds very vague and professional right? Well it isn't, I literally got the job and was invited to a party with the people at the company before my start date. I was speaking to two of my new collegues and one of them mentioned a story of when they were knocking on doors. Only then did things add up to me, that this is door to door sales. There is nothing wrong in working is as a door to door salesman, but they continously lied throughout the entire process knowing I had a degree in marketing and that I actually wanted to work in that field and NOT sales. Also the owner is so obnoxious and embarrassing. He was boasting about him and his seniors wages at this event and constantly have photo shoots and lavish events to put on social media to try and give him and the other companies legitimacy, to make it seem like a lucrative and legit business. Thank god I had a look at reviews after I accepted the job, stay clear of these guys
