Pros

- Literally zero if I could I wouldn't even give it 1 star

Cons

How much time do you have? This place is a nightmare, so many disgruntled staff that even management don't know about. Over inflated ego's of all the managers (bar 1) which they think entitles them to talk to you like crap. Be prepared to be swore at, ridiculed, laughed at, told you are incompetent (that's me using a nice word) plus so much more. Training (unlike the clearly fake reviews suggest) is not done by directors or senior management. It is sporadic. Working hours are 8:15am-MINIMUM 7pm. Unless management walks around and calls you a pr*ck and says "i'll make you do a graveyard shift" - this will be until at least 7:30-8pm. They do not care about you or your human rights. Don't forget how bad the commission is - you doing 180 deals benefits the managers so expect it to be difficult to ever become a consultant, you will earn around £60 commission for 3 contractors running for you - not even enough for a good night out. If you are travelling from far away then they will not care and still expect you to leave very late. Two directors are in reading who you will never speak to and the one in London is actually a good guy but he obviously has his boxes to tick and therefor goes with the company culture. Very high staff turnover.
