Pros
I was at explore for 18 months. I arrived at explore after travelling for 2 years previous and I had no sales experience. They saw the potential in me and from the beginning helped me day to day until I left. They support you in every aspect of your job and constantly challenge you to improve by giving constructive criticism in all areas of your work. This is not just from the owners and directors but from the senior consultants at the business, they all give you the time needed to help and show you how you can continue to improve. One of the biggest pros for me was the company culture and social aspect. Working hard is always important within this industry but when you can have a laugh and enjoy yourself while you are doing this it becomes a job that you can really enjoy and get a lot out of. The money in recruitment speaks for itself, but if you work hard and listen you can reach not just a great salary but the benefits and perks that come with being a consistent biller. Holiday incentives, company car allowance, lunch clubs at some of the nicest restaurants in London and more.
Cons
The hours can be demanding from you, however it is simple you put in what you want to get out of it! Core hours are there but if you want to exceed yourself you put the work in and do everything you can to impress. This is just the nature of the beast
