Pros

Good pay, potential for a lot of $$, makes you feel self-important to wear a suit and work in a nice building -A lot of drinking in the office and very social outside of office. Good for young people to mingle and meet new people, make friends

Cons

-Really bad management structure. Managers also have personal target, so it can create a conflict of interest and breeds an unhealthy competition. -Not a lot of patience with training or ramp-up. They decide pretty quickly to let you go if you aren't producing. -Long hours; expectation is from 8am-7pm everyday, and that you 'dont leave before your supervisor' -KPIs are rooted in volume without any consideration to quality. -Very unhealthy environment. One of the worst jobs and worst companies I've ever worked at.

There are challenges and pressures working in any sales environment and I appreciate this doesn't suit everyone. We try to identify people who will thrive in recruitment by undertaking a thorough talent acquisition process and being honest about the challenges that can arise when you work in a competitive industry. We continue to improve based on feedback from our employee engagement surveys and firmly believe in a high performance, high trust environment which focuses on output as opposed to the hours that people work. I invite you to contact me directly to discuss your concerns in the hope that we can improve the experience moving forward. Thank you, Richard Vickers, Regional Managing Director. +1 212-672-6955
