Pros
Great sales training and key financial knowledge. Colin Eldridge is a fantastic manager and a very motivating leader. If you want to succeed he will provide you with the tools. Laura Lockett a senior consultant there helps her team with the upmost encouragement and support attitude. You would be luck to work here if you have the right attitude.
Cons
No cons. Just be prepared to work hard!

If you aren't the type of person to go after it and drive then you won't be incentivised to do so - it has to come from you.

Non, unless you like racial slurs.

Pros
There are genuinely no good things I can say about the management / training / experience/ work life balance, environment/ company culture - however - you can have unlimited use of the fruit bowl - can use the water dispenser whenever which is great to use in countries where you can't drink tap water - Get to explore another country (could just go on holiday!)
Cons
Have been thinking whether to do this review or not and have decided to as fresh grads need to see this and not even think about working for this company DO NOT FALL FOR THE DREAM THAT THEY SELL YOU TRUST THE REVIEWS THAT ARE ALREADY ON HERE -there are enough awful reviews on here, I didn't believe them and I wish I had, a horrific experience of how a company shouldn't be ran The recruiters will sell you a dream and glow it up to be this fantastic opportunity - its not - its a complete pyramid scheme and you are set up to fail Absolutely zero work life balance you will work 12+ hr days when you are contracted 8:30-5:30. If you turn up at 8:30 you will get fired, they can do this because the contract is heavily weighted in their favor - they can fire you on the spot. They mention 10% of the contract and leave out the most important info that would most definitely steer you away The company provides you with as much support as a chair with 3 legs, you will end up loosing money with this company Different rules and procedures for different days of the week - a complete lack of consistency. You will get told the 'training is unparalleled' - they are correct unparalleled in the sense its so catastrophic its nothing like how other successful companies run their training Employee retention is similar to that of trying to fill up a sieve with water If you are a recent grad - please please please take on board what you are reading on this review website - I didn't have to do this but I don't want others to experience this train crash of a company - go and join an actual 'grad scheme' where you are valued, you CV is actually looked at and your not going to be treated like the scum of the earth I could write 3/4 pages on how poor this company is but hopefully you get the picture, don't get me started on the management I have nothing good to say about this company.
