Cons
- No training whatsoever. - Clear favourtism of staff members by directors and senior staff - Junior staff are either groomed for success if their face fits, or left to rot then turfed out at the earliest possible opportunity. - Systems crash leaving staff unable to work at least one day a week. - No Direction from senior staff. - (some) Regional managers sit and watch youtube instead of billing and contributing to the office. - People who handed in resignations were refered to as 'judas'. - No verticles at all - everybody scraping around for roles and candidates. - Database is a MINIMUM 5 years out of date. - High staff turnover. - Very low staff worth. - Director's is a 'friend's club' - people are promoted on the basis of how much the management team like them and time served rather than ability. - Very slow salaries. - Resourcers and junior consultants are exploited by senior staff as a way to get the senior staff more commission whilst rewarding the resourcers or junior consultants with next-to-nothing. - Regional Directors unable to answer any questions or make any decisions without consulting their boss. - Commission not paid when staff leave the company. - No Market Intelligence is collected. - Very poor work / life balance.
