Pros

Get to work with some lovely people

Cons

If you’re reading these reviews because you‘re considering working here take a hard pass. The CCO is a narcissistic bully and the founders are cut throat with no experience and disillusioned about the product they have created. They cannot admit that the business model isn’t working and resort to placing the blame at everyone else’s door. The way they treat their employees is shameful. The main issue is the founders have little to no experience running a business and no experience within the industry. They are well known for hiring people to make use of their contacts only to get rid of them in an instant when they are deemed no longer worthy. The continuous cycle of hiring and firing has created a fearful and toxic working environment with everyone praying they won’t be next. Huge issues with scheduling captures and lack of availability means they struggle to meet demand yet nothing seems to be done about this. Perhaps because the CCO sticks his head in the sand and blindly refuses to accept this as a valid reason as to why order numbers are low. The service is painfully bad with agents having to wait a week for a Property capture or risk having their capture cancelled at the last minute. Working for this company became utterly embarrassing, tasked daily with having to apologise for cancelling captures due to various issues. Spec are lost, with no commercial awareness within the sector and no idea on how to scale the business, having hired four different sales directors within two years is a classic example of how clueless they are.

Pros

Worked alongside some really friendly people.

Cons

Toxic culture created by management and founders that do not care about staff with an office environment that is soulless and depressing at best. Its being covered up by their introduction of a "culture club" that has done absolutely nothing apart from provide an excuse for management to use whilst the situation continues to get worse. People disappear and are never talked about, integral members that have been with the company for years are being forced out they are more than happy to fire whole departments just before christmas. An expectation to always pitch in and work overtime with no progression or salary reviews for most staff whilst being overworked, underpaid and undervalued as people. A company based on false promises that is running itself into the ground.
