Pros
Great company culture - Socialising is actively encouraged & naturally bonds with colleagues form as a result. Training is frequent, varied & of high quality. Very good support network within the business. An extremely diverse workforce - Adds to an amazing culture. Fantastic benefits (Company events, social occasions, team incentives etc). A lot of freedom to operate how you believe is best. Fantastic office - Great location with an unreal view of Birmingham. Promoted on merit - There is no culture of favoritism.
Cons
High staff turnover. The threshold to unlock commission is high and very difficult to obtain for new employees. Targets set can often be unattainable.

Robert Walters Response3moThank you for taking the time to leave a review and providing advice on how we could improve as an employer. We’re proud that strength of our brand sets us apart in the market, and I’m glad you felt the value of the events and networking opportunities we provide for our people. We’ve also worked hard to build a culture where all our people are given the environment and tools to build and develop successful careers with us, so it’s disappointing to learn you’ve experienced a lack of support from our management teams. I’d be interested to discuss your feedback in more detail, so if you’d like, you can email me at chris.poole@robertwalters.com and we can arrange a confidential discussion.

Pros
Team collaborative working culture, ability to entertain clients
Cons
They stress recruiters get a bonus as a selling point anyld not commissions. Its good for the candidate but bad for the consultant. Its not always set in stone even when you smash your targets it still might be a measly amount.
