Pros
- Supportive colleagues who you can also have a laugh with… or when they laugh at you and make homophobic & sexual & racist remarks… - Free coffee machine when it’s working (usually works 25% of the time) - Drinks every Fridays!! (Okay maybe like 1 out of every 5 Fridays…)
Cons
I really thought I would think of a few genuine good things to say about TopQuote, when in reality, it’s a complete circus to work for and I couldn’t represent to be Guys clown (MD) like he wanted me to be. From the interview stage, you will be told of how great you are, and what you will become and how the business will be transformed with all these new ideas and how quickly you can progress within the company! Though you ARE great, the rest of it is utter BS, your skills will certainly not be valued much here. I can personally say, that I have followed the company’s ethos with great attendance, and consistently hit my targets. The problem lies with Guy, a very narcissistic man who doesn’t follow through with much of what he says. You will find the recruitment here much like a revolving door where a new group of people are taken in every month and the average person will stay for roughly 2 months. Holidays are pretty much non existent here and the pay is mediocre. No health or life insurance benefits which is funny when you’re working for a life insurance company... You will also have to attend meetings 2/3 times everyday grilling you of the office performance which gets very laborious because neither the MD or the managers are ever happy. They don’t care about changing people lives and making a difference like they claim. Even when targets are being met you will constantly get negative feedback and always being micromanaged. Moral of the story, don’t work here to sell life insurance, or you might have been in a position like me where if I spent a day longer there, I’d have took my own life from the 14th floor because of how depressing it can be.
