Pros

Nice co-workers for the most part, very intelligent and kind people.

Cons

1. Another company who does the same thing offers 30k as a start salary. Everything is dependent on the bonus at TB which you only get if tou hit the target. 2. Talking about targets, depending on the vertical you are in they can be extremely difficult because of odd clients and other circumstances outside your control. This is not accounted for in your target and you will often get put down for not reaching your target in the monthly feedback session, which for some teamleaders are just a way to exert power over you. 3. As mentioned in other reviews, teamleaders are responsible for managing 8-9 people, despite having no experience whatsoever and no talent for managing people. Some TLs use their position to manage you out if they dont like you. Company knows about it too, but no one does anything against this sort of power abuse. 4. In the beginning you are just used to recruit new people and you are not allowed to use internal people. So you're just slaving away cold calling people, while associates recruit maybe one person a month but hit their targets because they are allowed to use the internal system. 5. Micro managed to the max. People will go through your every piece of communication with the specialist and measure your performance on how much you hassle specialists. Stay away as faaaaar as possible. Especially if you do not want to be a recruiter, which is just what the position is. Zero brain cells engaged and you do better if you turn of all thinking and just do what you're told. Research and analysis is something completely absent from this position.

Pros

Really nice co-workers Good pay Working alongside offices in other locations

Cons

The company calls itself a primary research agency which is completely false. It is basically a call center where you have to continuously call up people and persuade them to help with your "project." There is no analysis nor any brain work required for the job. It can get depressing and monotonous with no mental stimulation. The work environment is terrible. It's very difficult to get personal leave approved and you have to provide multiple reasons for taking leave. Even a sick leave is often cross questioned. It is a target driven organisation so if you are not converting enough phone calls you may have issues dealing with the pressure. Lastly, irrespective of the career progression the job remains pretty much the same unless you are sitting in the head office.

Pros

-Amazing view -Snack room and fully-stocked kitchen -Great AC -A select amount of decent people

Cons

-Judgmental management disguised as friendly mentors -Very relaxed about certain inappropriate things (extremely loud conversations, soccer balls being kicked around when people are trying to work) but they scold you for random things if they don't like you (Example: Once, I had a meeting with my boss because I arrived at nine o' ONE) -Do not allow you to use headphones -Very homogeneous and dangerous culture - I've experienced workplace racism as well as overheard homophobic comments -Work is boring and tedious, all you do is harass people over the phone. Basically a telemarketing job
