Pros

Dexters is one of the biggest estate agents in London which means that you have access to one of the biggest databases when it comes to clients. This means that you have better earning potential than smaller agencies as you are able to reach out to more people. They have good internal training programs and your progression can be quick if you work hard.

Cons

The company lacks moral and support. They often cross lines that are not ok and show very little support if you were to fall ill, have to quarantine , are being furloughed, feel unsafe working due to Covid or are unable to work for any other reason. 2020 left many employees struggling due to lack of financial support. They are also very formal in their way of thinking and do not like people who thinks outside the box, not very forward thinking and very set in their ways. Worst of all is who they chose to be their authorities, these people are often bullies who have got to where they are by long term commitment to the company, not by being good leaders. People with low moral and who are unfortunately abusing their power.

Pros

Wonderful! Outstanding! Incredible! Just some of the many words that can be used to describe Value consulting. They carefully helped me through the process to get our H1B visa. Even through the long and sometimes unbearable waiting times, they kept me believing that I would succeed in the end. Well, thanks to their professional handling of my application I did succeed and now in the US.Familiar environment, nice and, available colleagues. Good salary, very interesting projects, great clients, big exposure to senior management of clients, possibility to work abroad.

Cons

Challenging projects but not bad at all.

Pros

Christmas party is alright. It's free drinks and food. But it's on a Thursday night every year cause they don't want you to drink to much and don't like it when people book the next day off.

Cons

Overworked, treated like a child and spreading Propaganda about the property being fantastic all the time. They discard their staff like candy wrappers. Dexter's management are a real piece of work. The environment they create in the workplace is toxic and encourages alpha male bullying. They want total control over you and believe you should work in the Dexters way. They even tell you how to write your draw your own diary and and do diary check ups once in a while to make sure you comply. How sad that they mark you on how organized your diary is... and if you drawn your diary correctly with two lines in the middle and if you bullet point your tasks correctly. This is no joke. They do this. They say you start at 8:30am and you work till 7pm. But in reality if you turn up at 8:20am they give you a stern telling off. And say that you need to be in before then. They really expect you to start at 7:50am - 8:00am. And you work 6 days a week. People are going to say they pay you well. But if you work out the hours you put in vs the money you get. it levels out to the same as any other job. But Expect to exhausted all the time and treated terribly. Omg and the meetings. They love everyone super pumped and love lip service. You have to tell them what they wanna hear other it's career suicide. If you talk or are seen to be realist and to say the market down. Your seen as negative and that's it your career progression is over.
