Pros

Fun and exciting atmosphere at the office, good group of people to work with, very strong focus on developing you as a person (but not really transferable skills), quite a few competitions within the companies

Cons

Very long hours which were not flexible unless you want to risk getting fired without any notice, long drives to sites up to ~2hours away, no fun in the rain, 100% commission based salary so very unpredictable and frustrating, an almost cult-like mentality to make sure everyone is positive and hitting targets

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you found the role fun and the people good to work with. However, we are sorry to hear that the role was not as you expected. Field sales representatives are contracted on a self-employed basis and, as such, your hours are flexible and under your control. These roles are paid on performance. It's a role that works really well for some people, but not for everyone. The nature of the role should have been clearly explained to you when you joined the network. If that was not the case, please do contact us at customerservices@appcogroup.co.uk so we can look into your experience further.

Pros

Let me start by sayung that I had a great career of 6+ years as a school teacher.. I decided I wanted more. That my core skils of communication and teaching people could be put to better use elsewhere.. After some soul searching I started applying for Sales and marketing roles, as I felt I was best suited for thAt. Fast forward less than two years later and I helped to build offices in two divisions of the company all while earning a healthy emough living to start a family and keep my wife home w our newborn son. This was a game changer for me, Id worked for the likes of Mcrosoft, Omnicon and in the DOE. Non of which offerdd me the personal and professional Developmentt and growrh potential Appco has. I am paid for my effort and results as any business should. Additionallly i have hyper developed communication skills(verbal & non) I have learned how to run and build a high level sales office. Oh and i have become a leader to those around me. Leadership is the paramount skill I'ive developed. I have worked in England, Scotland, Australia as well as California, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas as of now! All and all great income(well above my teacherrs salary), great people/enviroment, amazing development both personal and professional. Oh and benefits after 90 days, boom! Most important is the promotional structure of the company works. Im proof of that.

Cons

You may have to spend time with me
