Pros

Although a very ego filled and immature company a few of the members of staff were friendly and helpful, but certainly not the majority. Able to earn good money, short term.

Cons

Disgraceful training- they say it's good but there is no format, poor content and led by people who have little experience. Long hours are never a problem if they have purpose, at X4 you are put in a position to work long hours to fulfil irrelevant KPI’s. Arriving from 7.30 in the morning to stay till 10 at night to work on KPI's that actually have no relevance to building a business. In my current position I work half the hours and achieve double as much due to an innovative, autonomous, business minded work environment It is more or less a call centre- shouted at if you’re not on the phone, this is short sighted. High quantity and low quality is not a good approach in my view- surely 30 badly researched calls is more shooting in the dark than 5 well researched calls that add value and end in actual results. Given no autonomy- treated like a child, have ask to use the toilet, frowned on if you go to get a coffee. They fill the office with fluffy things that can appear attractive and like a caring company, fruit bowels, bar in the office.. most companies offer these things but again here they are a facade of care, this is completely fake. The majority of the staff there plan to leave within two years, make a quick buck and get out. This is not a company to join if you are looking to build a career. Childish environment, inappropriate sexual comments, senior staff are immature and unable to give guidance, I witnessed a huge amount of bullying in this environment. Working on an out of date business model, may have worked in the 90's but completely out of date in today's society and business world.

Pros

Challenging and fun work. I have learned how to negotiate contracts, speak with high profile clients, and manage a successful business development pipeline. There is so much business in the office that I end every single day still with stuff to do for the next. Within two years I have been able to hire my own team of 5 people. This job definitely favors the hardworking and clever. There is a huge opportunity here. The pay is extremely good if you are consistent. The office is nice and the firm is flexible and working to improve so that it becomes a better place to work as times goes on.

Cons

The office is very young and rewards results over everything. Still learning as we grow so it isn't going to be perfect. The pay is only going to be amazing if you are successful. It takes a while for some people to get the knack for it.
