Pros

there;s a decent coffee machine

Cons

- refusal to rehire and furlough recently departed staff during pandemic despite it costing them zero - no ethics: Overcharging customers secretly and condoning sales staff doing this - High pressure sales culture despite claims that customer service is at the core of everything - CCTV all round office facing desks - no qualms about representing Trump/Dorchester venues (owners with deadly human rights records) - Pressure you to sign a waiver that you will work more than the legal maximum number of hours - only 2 days sick pay - Cramped, very small desk spaces - Deliberate gameplaying over job security to suit them, climate of fear and rumour, HR left out of loop - Promotions/departures rarely announced, non-existent internal communication - Micromanaging from senior staff - Pressure to write positive glassdoor reviews because they realised bad ones aren't good for their image - v High staff churn - People who speak out on issues are seen as troublemakers - Nepotism, not promoting longstanding staff members and hiring mates from outside instead - Inability to support or recognise talent, hiring specialists and then not listening to them until they get frustrated and end up leaving - Supplier accounts go unpaid, causing embarrassment and straining relationships

Pros

Not bad office premises. Close to station. Well resourced. Good internet presence. Lots of venue visits with treats. Nice sized company. Fruit provided.

Cons

Superficial friendly vibe from management and director(s). High staff turnover. Expectation to work long hours. More stick than carrot. Compares to low paying industries to justify poor commission structure. Staff mainly non-grad first and second jobbers. Poor behaviour at times from both staff and management. Climate of fear and rumour at times. Staff accustomed to being shouted at. Often unrealistic targets. Recruitment from friendship circle of current employees preferred. 'The Office' moments.

Pros

The people! Such a brilliant atmosphere! Wonderful product to sell! Amazing perks and very competitive salary & commission! Decent working hours! Great office location! Compassionate management who treat staff as humans first and employees second! All round winners! My favourite job in the last 10 years of sales!

Cons

A lot to take in, not for the faint hearted! Not really a con but requires dedication and hard work, if this is not your MO then probably not the job for you! Really not much to put in this box, i left and came back, that pretty much says it all, i wouldn't return to a role that wasn't this good!

Wow, thank you so much this is a lovely review, and I am really pleased to hear that you are enjoying the beautiful products we have to sell. We work hard to create a fun but competitive environment where winning is celebrated, but I am also delighted that you find the working environment a compassionate place to be. I will keep doing what I am doing, if you do the same great job! Thanks again.
