Pros

I've been working for ThinkForex since 2011 and have yet to find any of the issues below . It seems to me the individual below is concerned more with holidays and using the internet at work. I've worked at a few firms and I have seen managers with far worse concerns that what the individual described below. I know the shareholders when the Melbourne office was just a handful of people and while everyone is not perfect they are the only directors I know that stay up and day/night to manage the business from all different parts of the world. They are always on Skype , email , and their mobiles and there is yet a month gone by where I haven't received some form of acknowledgement for what I do . I am in Technology ThinkForex has grown tremendously and while there have been a few bad apples that have come the company has moved past them fairly quickly and learned what not to bring in. Monitoring the internet is nothing new for companies , I know in the Melbourne Office a few people started doing side businesses , researching snow boarding magazines and other personal items that took over work. So I don't blame them for putting in internet monitoring ( maybe that is why the individual below didn't earn the commissions he wanted and seemed to be venting ) just a thought...

Cons

It would be good to get better direction on new products that come out and how to market them , sometimes I feel products are launched without any direction on what they are for.

Pros

The pay was alright-ish. That's the only good thing I can think of.

Cons

Where do I even start. The level of micromanagement is unbelievable. The CEOs will be reviewing social media images that will get 2 likes after that. The big decisions are made on a whim with no research or logic. In 2024 they still believe in cold calling and not marketing, believe it or not. People come people go with no proper handovers which leads to total mess in all the departments, most people don't even know or understand the company products. Lots of mishires when new people join the company and have no idea what they are doing. Employees across offices are not treated equally. WFH is only granted at some locations and so are salary reviews/increases. I could go on and on. I don't know how they are still afloat if I'm honest. Do yourself a favor – stay away from this company. You can do better.
