Pros

Sadly to say, none, no pros.

Cons

* The environment is disorganised, with a lack of clarity on ongoing matters, making it difficult to obtain accurate information. While a handful of colleagues are supportive, many others seem either uninformed or somewhat detached. * Salary adjustments non existent. * There are no additional benefits such as private healthcare, income protection, or life insurance. * No Bonuses. Grind culture, targets often prove unattainable, equaling no commission. Only a select few benefit from more favourable territories or product alignments. * Opportunities for promotion are absent, along with any defined career progression path, seemingly due to a reluctance to increase compensation. * A sense of community or belonging is notably lacking. * Morale tends to be low among the teams, with many expressing a desire to depart. New hires often share regrets shortly after starting, typically within one to two months. * The average employee tenure is around one year and two months, a figure that recruiters familiar with placements from GlobalData can verify through their data. * The CRM system, despite being based on top-tier software, has been rendered ineffective by decisions from the administrators and technical team. * The company operates on a very frugal basis, which is apparent from details like jars of loose white sugar and instant coffee, kettles in need of cleaning due to limescale buildup, the absence of a year end celebration, and instead a modest January event called the 'Annual Awards' with limited standing catering at a recurring venue like the Natural History Museum. The late timing after a full workday can make attendance impractical for those commuting from outside London.

Pros

Supportive team, collaboration within the team

Cons

You never get a raise or promotion, not even annual inflation adjustment. Higher management doesn’t care about you or any other employees. They are only concern about generating more revenue without even appreciating or giving any perks to their employees.
