The company culture is toxic, senior management do not care about you, which is the main reason why staff turnover is so ridiculously high, in a year I have seen over 70 employees come and go! The pay is poor unless you make huge deals every month, £650 a month is not enough to live on especially in London. Moreover, any months you do not make deals you end up being paid a top up loan so that you receive minimum wage. The loan is taken out of your salary when you make a certain amount of commission (which they never reveal in the interview). Additionally, the office politics that occur is damaging to junior staff as some staff end up with horrible products which they end up selling for free. There is a lot of favouritism that goes on, management is weak and incapable of dealing with disputes that occur between staff. The office is outdated, with 5 computers (only 4 actually work) between 30-40 staff is appalling. Waiting 15 minutes to send emails to clients is shocking, not to mention the printers are outdated and get stuck if you try to print more than 3 sheets of paper. The kitchen has no microwave facilities, the telephone systems are constantly breaking down and need regular maintenance. The carpets are rotting and stained, I have seen mice in the office, and traps are laid under computers and in corners. The products that Marcus Evans sell are mixed, those who are favoured by senior management get better products. Sales reps often have to lie in order to speak to clients as Marcus Evans has a bad reputation especially in the banking world. Senior management actively look to swindle their clients. There was a case where a conference was cancelled and one delegate arrived at the venue from overseas, without realising that the conference was cancelled just an example of poor business practice that occurs. Work life balance is poor as a lot of people take up second jobs just to make ends meet. Leaving them little or no time to lead search or attend the after work drinks or parties. You are required to wear a suit and tie every day with an occasional dress down Friday option.

Too many!!! Everything about this company is a LIE. - Everybody starts with a high enthusiam and through the course of the job ends up being mediocre given the lack of motivation. - Boring! only cold calling and researching about the same stuff all day (which makes you feel as a robot, nothing new or exciting) -HORRIBLE basic!! and so difficult to make a deal (the reputation of the company is so bad that it is not as easy to close a deal) - The staff turnover is the higuest I have ever seen. Thus, it has very unexperienced staff. - Not having your own computer, like a highschool. - The management doesn't listen suggestion and lacks empathy. Additionally, they expect you to lie and lie and lie to the potential clients! - The events are normally not good, so you will feel horrible selling a very expensive lie to the clients. - You are only a selling machine in there, not a human being. - ME doesn't event provide a microwave to save money on your lunch. Plus, they are very cheap in every aspect. - No enought training - No benefits at all! - People get sick working there. Not good for your health or state of mind. -Even if you sale an event, they will rush you to get back to the office to call. - Many of the managers are married or in a relationship, therefore it is like a dictatiorship in which you don't have anyone to complain about all of this situations. And many more cons...
