Pros

Employees all get along well

Cons

I can assure you as a former employee every negative review is 100% truthful as well as that every positive review written about the company has been written by current employees due to advice from management about having a 'negative image' Honestly don't waste you're time, whether you attend the 'interview' day (interview used very loosely as all team leaders do is try to convince you to take the job rather than the other way around. So much so they are given a script to follow throughout the day) and decide it's not for you or waste 6 months or more of your life trying to complete their 'management training programme' eventually everyone ends up leaving and in the same boat. You're constantly told this business is the only way to be successful (not true) Constantly told people not working commission based jobs are unsuccessful (not true) And also constantly told working 13 hours a day (where you can only actually earn money for about 4/5 hours of the day) is the best idea in the world (not true) Theoretically for someone to be considered 'successful' in this job they would be earning 500/600 a week which initially sounds attractive however working 6 days a week 13 hours a day equates this to 7.70 an hour... not as attractive Also I can not express more how unlikely it is someone in this business is making £100 a day. 100% it is possible as it is uncapped earnings however it is a business purely based on image. To those at entry level team leaders look extremely successful however on average they're not earning that much more than you It's a business run purely on the naivety of young people and brainwashing them into thinking they have the best job in the world when realistically they would make more money in a McDonald's uniform.

Hi, Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We would just like to provide some clarity on our interview process. Transparency is something that we take very seriously. Our interview process is specifically designed to give our candidates a comprehensive understanding of what our opportunities entail. We feel that our three-stage interview process helps our candidates decide if they will be suitable for one of our opportunities, Our commission structure allows our contractors to gain uncapped earnings, which we consider to be a positive and is a feature that many of our professionals have used to their advantage. We are sorry that you didn’t enjoy your time with us. We wish you all the best in your future career and all your endeavours.

Pros

I'm now fired up to start a campaign against this company.

Cons

Well for a kick off you're either knocking on doors or taking signatures. There is no salary just commission. You work 8-6 for £200-£250 according to one of their team leaders if you are on starter salary. That is below minimum wage. Then team leader it is £300-£500. £300 is minimum wage so the guy I talked to who wants to "retire at 30" as a TL may have to work 24 hour days. Beyond that they claim that you earn more because you make more sales in senior positions and there is no salary until you're at the top. Delusional. Contradicted by the fact that you're also expected to spend more time in the office as you go up the ranks. Also the "interview" process was more about them selling the job to you and making out how good an opportunity it is.

Hi, Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We would just like to clarify some of the points you have made. Transparency is something that we take very seriously. Our interview process is specifically designed to give our candidates a comprehensive understanding of what our opportunities entail. We believe that our three-stage interview process helps our candidates decide if they will be suitable for one of our opportunities. Our commission structure allows our contractors to gain uncapped earnings, which we consider to be a positive and is a feature that many of our professionals have used to their advantage. We take great pride in creating a positive and nurturing environment for our contractors and we are delighted that we have been able to help hundreds of young professionals fulfil their goals. We in no way make false claims to any of our contractors and offer them all of the support and mentoring they require to be successful in the industry. We would also like to clarify that as our contractors all operate under self-employed basis, we are in no position to stipulate their working hours and we also do not "expect them to spend more time in the office to go up the ranks." We are sorry that you felt that this opportunity was not suitable for you and wish you the very best with your job search.

Pros

None at all, as far as I can see. Multiple amusing gratuitous endorsements for the CEO, run more like a personality cult.

Cons

Websites with no news or information, no jobs? Questionable LinkedIn profiles, very questionable endorsements. Some people believe their own marketing hype and its frankly laughable. Gullible people only should apply. Do yourself a favour and carry out a web search and check the history of Alpha Innova at Liverpool and Cardiff.
