Pros
- Having a FTSE50 company on the CV will carry some weight. - Free lunch once a week in 1 of 3 restaurants.
Cons
Despite reading all the negative reviews before I joined, I took them with a pinch of salt and thought it was mostly just people being bitter. I soon found pretty much ALL the negative comments on here to be true. Lots of brown-nosers, customers despise you due to you constantly ripping them off and archaic / out-of-date software. In sales the number comes above everything, including customer satisfaction and future business - they fully expect you to screw over customers and destroy relationships in order to hit monthly targets. Retention rate is shocking due to a lot of people realising quickly this is not an enjoyable place to work, hence why a lot of people leave within a year. In core sales, success depends entirely on the accounts you get given and most newbies get the accounts no one else wants to touch and most of those customers don't want to touch EDQ, so it's no surprise many leave within a year. They've also done a poor job of integrating the X88 Pandora business into EDQ. This is clearly the future of the business, but only a few can sell it.
