VMR Consultants Reviews

Pros

Internal recruiter was so lovely, got me in for an interview the next day understanding that I had just moved to the area, kept in contact with me throughout the process to make sure I was prepared. The training provided is really helpful, the training manager shows a general interest in your progress. Checked on my continuously to make sure we weren’t nervous and go overcome anything we were worried about. My group settled in really quickly due to the training manager and how many group activities we did and all helped each other. The people in the company are so lovely and helpful! Really welcomed me and helped me through calls.

Cons

Too much money to be earnt

Advice to Management

Let that ship sink.

Pros

• All the agents have each other’s back!

Cons

Most tiring job I would avoid it unless your strong minded

Advice to Management

Close down

Pros

Not really any positive things about this company apart from the very few decent members of staff. Also if you like shopping then being located on the high street may be an added bonus- but you will not get the time to have a browse as there is no flexibility with the 30 minute lunch break.

Cons

Well where do I start? I could right a story about this company but it wouldn't be worth my time. From the interview process right up until my last day was horrible. Even though they take people on with no recruitment experience that does not matter because they will expect you to be making the company money within your first week and thrown in the deep end and theatened to be fired if you do not make a deal.. Most training is done through watching videos and roleplay which is a waste of time, no one to one support or help just threats. The owner of the company is a psychopath and watches everybodies move every minute of the day, makes people cry nearly everyday and makes people feel very small.. he is obsessed with numbers and profit and does not care about any of the staff. The people who work at VMR hate it too. Everybody slags off the owner whenever he is near by and everybody is walking on egg shells, including the management team. They fire people regularly and the staff turnover is the worst I have ever seen! Its very clicky and not a healthy place to work or try to persue a career. If I could give 0 stars then I would because its a complete shambles I am very surprised the company is still going.

Advice to Management

Well done for putting up with the daily abuse, honestly deserveva medal.

Pros

I honestly rolled my eyes up trying hard to think of any and there aren't many pros. Unless you are extremely good at what you do go ahead and apply but still the fear element of with held commissions would appear dangling over your heads. surprisingly the company has some legendary consultants who have the eye for detail and I must say are really talented and I have had the chance to learn so much from them. The team do care and the are good people.

Cons

ahhh, where shall I begin? lets just say pursuing a career at VMR is like shooting yourself in the left foot and the shooting would be less painful in fact it may seem that it may be right thing to do whilst in employment at VMR . The training module is good and somewhat seem reasonable but this company operates under one size fits all policy. Only because the director has so far missed the opportunity of public learning and management. you would be patronised and tested to the limits. Ethics and morality is oblivion to the company and the distinction between employment and modern slavery does appear to have been faded with VMR. It may feel like everyone is doing their time at prison because everyone is looking out for the right moment to escape this war zone. With extreme staff turnover and surprise departures or sack every month around payday wouldn't be an ideal situation for someone looking out to apply for better opportunity.

Advice to Management

Advise to the director, training should be on the agenda for you

Pros

Long working hours who needs a social life when you could be selling in and spamming tech companies! Nice emails about bogeys and poo being smeared on company toilet walls, oh and mouldy milk. Nice views of York road and crack addicts fighting from the window of the office. #bestentertainmentever! If you hit your call times you're actually allowed a lunch break! If you love not having job security this is the one for you, but don't worry if you're sacked you'll be called two days later with them begging for you to return. Managing director loves throwing awesome raves at his house, bit of karaoke is always nice after a long month. If you don't like people this is great for you there will never be the same staff for long, monthly or weekly walkouts ensure this. Great training if you like watching the same videos on repeat for two hours every morning! If the internet goes down, no problem you can call Europe from your mobile, no you will not be reimbursed but that's okay you'll get your commission 3-6 months after your first deal :) Great database with hundreds of potential leads from years ago, company doesn't want a java developer? That's okay, you can call them tomorrow and see if they need one now! Loads of funny entertainment from LinkedIn, you might told to kill yourself by random people you've never met, purely because everyone has already contacted them. Got mess? Don't worry the apprentices will be round to clear that for you. All round great company, full of entertainment, great bunch of people to work with. Managers get paid to watch you-tube videos, keep your aspirations high! There's so much more to say but i'm bored now, have a great time working here ;)

Cons

Everything, apart from the people who try to keep you sane even though you can tell they can't wait to go outside for a chain smoking session.

Advice to Management

Smile your employees are watching.

Pros

Great social side with other consultants and some managers are great!

Cons

CEO is insane. Expects everyone to change procedures as soon as an idea comes to mind. Hires trainees so he can manipulate them into slave workers. Expectations are insane. KPI leads to people faking call times out of fear. All good reviews are lies written by himself.

Advice to Management

All the managers could be in a better compnay. CEO needs to lay off pressure and focus on staff retention

Pros

Good training scheme to get you ready for the Job

Cons

-Long hours -Lack of communication from the management side
