The best training in the business

Pros
Career Progression, training and incentives are all superb.
Cons
Head Office tasks take a while with many tasks and some offices are in urgent need of refurbishment.
Advice to Management
Re-balance the basic salary vs. commission structure a little bit (in favour of a more comfortable 'living wage') - It will reduce staff turnover. Reduce the hours. No one needs to be at work for 10 hours a day. 9 hours or less (I believe) will result in equal productivity and happier people.

Pros
There is an enormous list of positives, the progression opportunities are endless, there is a clear pathway to achieve goals, the commission structure supports high performance, the training set up is industry leading... I could go on! Helped me with adapting work life to aid health issues at home, felt supported and looked after from day one.
Cons
Nothing that springs to mind. As with any job, you need a strong work ethic.
Advice to Management
Keep going!

Pros
closed on sundays they give you a car need to think of five of these challenging nope nothing
Cons
Archaic processes - if you are in a contract race with another london agent then forget about it. contracts can take weeks and there is zero urgency or support from head office in Essex who have to sign off everything. I guess this process is in place as they cant trust the poor calibre of manager they employ to approve a contract - who knows. Awful recruitment resulting in poor office dynamics and low calibre of... personnel High staff turnover witnessed completely illegal and common place practices; fraud, constructive dismissal and false advertising to name a few extremely low pay for back of house staff resulting in the worst management/head office in the industry bad management from top to bottom meaning tasks have zero ownership and a pass the buck culture amazing training promised, nothing given top earner while I was at the company in terms of banking however I had to fight for my last pay EXTREMELY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, which reflects badly on the very few and normally short tenured staff; if you value your reputation just say no to the offer - you have been warned. disparity between london based brands in terms of packages. if you are a negotiator at haart you get a very basic marked toyota car and if you work for the other london based brand (felicity J Lord) you get a BMW. I think this is so unfair to the negotiators which, at entry level is among the worst OTE in the industry and considering the poor career opportunity and the low brand profile, it just doesnt make sense to look to haart for your first taste of the property industry Poor locations and shabby offices terrible CRM systems and over engineered solutions to non-problems

Its a shame Ive had to write this. In 13 years in the industry Ive never had the urge to write a review of a company I have worked for but I really feel the urge to warn people considering a career with Spicerhaart.

Pros
If you are willing to work 60+ hours a week and lucky enough to sell enough the commission is good. Company car is included.
Cons
Low basic salary and very impossible to have work/life balance. Never know who to trust unfortunately as it’s a sales job, not a job for someone who doesn’t like confrontation as certain people get away with this all. Very clicky.
Advice to Management
Treat everyone with equality as management definitely have their favourites.

Pros
Fun, fast paced, lots of opportunity
Cons
Too wedded to the Spicerhaart Way, which is directed by the CEO, which is a shame as many great ideas and people are overlooked which could transform the business.
