Pros
- honestly no pros I can think of, this is all based around my personal experience working for Hartmann Young.
Cons
- Managers take your fees and make you work on fake roles, I witnessed someone work on something for months with success and get no commission for it - No progression or proper training, none of the managers have had management training and have no idea what they're doing - Over 30 people have left the company over the last 2 years because of how toxic the management are - Fake incentives, top biller was promised a trip to Las Vegas which was never organised - Concerns are never listened to - No flexibility, no work from home options and long hours - Management are allowed to leave the office whenever they want for things like haircuts but consultants must book time off for basic things such as a dentist or doctors appointment - Not allowed to leave your desk during the day and are forced to stand up for 2 hours everyday and cold call (phone hour) - Sick pay doesn't exist so you are often catching illness from other people and then forced to take your annual leave if you want a sick day or go unpaid - Toxic environment that revolves around drinking, if you aren't into this then you are isolated from the group - Women are hired based on their appearance - The CEO used to get only the women to make him teas and coffees which never sat right with me - The perks and benefits document was plagiarised from another recruitment firm except all the benefits were changed and made worse - No boundaries between work hours and personal hours, people used to get texts in the early hours of the morning over stupid things that could have been dealt with face to face - Well-respected employees verbally abused and threatened in front of the whole office - Managers snoop through your personal LinkedIn account and read your personal messages - They hire inexperienced consultants, don't give them proper training and then sack them within a few weeks/months - No compassion or emotional understanding from my experience
