Pros

-The learning and development course they provided at the start

Cons

- Inflation of earning potential and realistic first year earnings (they say it's near 40k but most of the consultants after a year are just above the basic salary) - Tracked late stats (pressure applied on you to make calls far beyond your contracted hours) - Tracked stats in general: Everything you do and have done is tracked (Minutes on the phone, Managers spoken to, New managers added, Interviews booked, Leads found etc), this is followed by the publishing of said stats 3 times a day via email to the office sales floor - Toxic atmosphere: propaganda like posters that state mantras such as 'no days off' and 'do your job'; school-like control of workers behaviour (no phones at the desk, they even entertained physical punishments for poor performance e.g. 50 press ups on a Friday for the person with the lowest evening phone call stats) - Aggressive sales techniques: lying to clients on the phone to get buy in, using any means necessary to obtain personal information irrespective of GPDR; lying to candidates and selling them jobs that don't exist in order to harvest information - Spending most of the day speaking to people that you don't want to speak to who don't want to speak to you - Making commission by leeching off of people's hard-earned money On top of all of that, they ran a company incentive to leave good Glassdoor reviews - giving a good review gave you a chance to win £50
