Pros

Excellent work environment for the right people. Incentives and team night out are excellent (if you are on the right team). Lovely office even though its not in the city.

Cons

Micro managed beyond belief Team depending...you are just treated like a number no real care or training is given They get you to phone candidates on your interview to "see if your good enough" Morale in the office is non-exsistent You are borderline forced to work every hour under the sun and weekends. When you leave or refuse you are berated. There is a very "us & them" culture with alot of bullying if you arent in the right "circles" there is no client ownership at any point someone can mess or ruin a relationship you have taken time to build

We are hugely disappointed to hear that you had such a negative experience and would urge you to get in contact with more detailed feedback so we can take immediate action.We take any accusations of bullying very seriously and are dealt with sensitively and formally. This has come as a surprise as we have had no reports of bullying in any exit interviews so are eager to take appropriate action- thank you in advance for your cooperating in anyway you can.REgarding being foreced to work every hour under the sun, again we must stress this is not factual and employee well being is one of our key 2020 initiatives. As with all sales roles long hours are often associated with success, especially in a market where our candidates are more comfortable talking outside of their own working hours.Nonetheless, thank you for taking time to leave your thoughts, and we hope you get in touch to provide more information.SianHead of People

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!
