Pros

Rewarding job, excellent organisation and the staff and management were all very friendly.

Cons

Meeting targets set by funders can be unrealistic in more rural areas, but this is a funder issue rather than that of Start360.

Pros

None, none, none and none

Cons

They advertise jobs on their website that don't actually exist. You'll then have to sit through an hour long presentation about the company's cult-like values and structure to then be told that the marketing role you applied for in the first place is actually a sales role, and that all roles advertised are exactly the same, they've just given them different names on the website?? Then they'll say that the reason behind this is that everyone's turning to face-to-face and events marketing rather than digital as a result of the pandemic... face-to-face... in a pandemic... Other than the fact this is totally untrue, it's just plain stupid. No base salary and the excuse is that "the 18-year-olds would get paid less than the 25-year-olds which isn't fair as they might work harder", like paying everyone above minimum wage isn't an option. If you're looking for a proper job/somewhere to build a career, this isn't it. They'll try to lure you in with the promise of a company yacht and the chance to be an "entrepreneur", but all you're doing is working ridiculous hours (8.30-6, 6 days a week), and they wont even guarantee you a paycheck in return. If you have any self respect then avoid.

Pros

- My first few weeks have been fantastic at Start360, it's a great place to work, the culture is amazing and everyone wants to help you do well. - There have also been numerous travel opportunities around the UK including business trips =) - There is huge opportunity to develop yourself as a person and develop other people too. - The morning atmospheres are really fun and engaging too. They also have evening crew nights where everyone gets to know each other and learn from one another. - The positive mental attitude within Start360 has definitely helped me in my personal life and I've developed some great habits as well. I cant wait to see what the future holds at Start360!!

Cons

- The hours are long but you definitely get out what you put in.
