Pros

Great quarterly incentives Managers were very helpful and supportive when needing help and guidance as an employee Good commission structure and development Lots of great people work there

Cons

A very childish and patronising way to be spoken to by the MD. There is little structure and it is very hit and miss. There is no conversation to resolve matters it is just being belittling and rudeness. It is not very professional in the sense that if there is an issue instead being done on a one to one basis it is shouted across the office purely to show authority. Made to work later than contracted hours and not allowed to leave. Although recruitment is not a 9-5 job, and if required to stay late for your desk I totally agree you should but you should not be made to stay or frowned upon if you leave on time. It's a shame as there are some great people there. The way that some colleagues talk to each other is unacceptable and it mainly by senior employees, and a lot of cut throat mentality, however 90% of the employees are great. For example once resigned the MD did not speak to me or even look at me for my final week, and some comments were ridiculous. Made to feel un welcomed and like an ant on the end of a shoe multiple times by the MD. Nothing is resolved. Comes across great and makes empty promises that never come of anything. When letting someone go from the business instead of doing it within teams he aired his whole issues and judgement of that employee via email to the whole office which was highly un professional. Has made multiple employees cry.

Many thanks for your review. I've been called many names in my past (mostly by my wife) but erratic is never one I have heard. However I am obviously sorry that you feel that way. We are very clear in our business about why we will "fire" people. We even go so far as to have a section on this in our Day 1 induction which may seem strange to some but really helps to set out our stall as to what we deem acceptable and what we don't. We tell all new associates why we will fire them in the first 3-6 months. None of these are to do with talent or ability or sales numbers. However we deem the following unacceptable : Laziness , lack of effort , constant lateness / unexplained absence , lack of desire. Clearly after this initial period there is a greater expectation to deliver fees. Recruitment is a sales environment and one that people should only enter if they understand they need to hit targets. However even after this time we still try to work with under-performers and "firing" them should only be deemed a last resort.
