Pros
If you are looking to work in a fast paced environment with high monetary rewards, then Explore Group is a great place to work. Of course this does not come easy and with hard work and momentum you will see the rewards. Training programme is offered from day one, whether you are coming in at entry level or more senior level looking to progress. Weekly & monthly incentives to further add compensation Great team environment and regular social team events Senior management are very approachable and get involved with socials Location is close to Reading station for those commuting
Cons
If you are looking to earn commission quickly, you are deluded - hard work and momentum needs to be built. You will see the rewards but this takes time. Prepare yourself for 3 months of no commission and you will be rewarded with different incentives to fill the gap. (this is the same at any recruitment company, so work hard and you will get rewarded). Lack of senior recruiters in Reading office (positive - good opportunity for someone to come in) Business change - direction of organisation changed a lot when I was there, so would be good to see clear plan. Long hours expected (Again this is at all recruitment companies) - If you aren't prepared to work the hours, then don't bother!
