      Do not work for these cut throats

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Energetic young and vibrant environment - if a bit chavy Average rewards for staff who achieve sales

      Cons

      You never know where you stand with your role. There are no clear paths of progression for your career. If your not 'in' with the crowd you're on your own, nobody will reach out to you first and people will talk about you behind your back Very very sales pressured jobs, if you don't deliver you are out, no time to develop Small company punching above its weight, I often wondered if I'd get paid at the end of every month Make you do a stupid about the history of the company upon joining, designed to boost the Directors ego's further No clear divisions between roles, if under resourced in a department you could be doing something you're not used to Feels like you work as a prize presentation barbie doll on a game show You will eventually get the shaft Ill advised work place relationships made it a difficult environment to work in

      We appreciate Glassdoor reviews are about perception & opinion, however, it’s completely misleading & inaccurate to suggest Practicus struggles with paying our staff. We’re in our 12th year of trading, have appeared in Virgin Fast Track twice, had record turnover & profit in 2014 and have a world class debt management team to avoid client bad debt. Practicus achieved Investor in People (IIP) Gold Standard in Q4 2014, something only the top 1.5% of companies in the UK achieve and something that would never be awarded if we were unable to meet wage bills! We are also a Sunday Times Best Company to work for, both this and the IIP awards are independently audited by a third party who interview our staff anonymously, during the course of which none of these issues have ever been raised. It is worth noting that Glassdoor do zero due diligence on who enters the reviews, they don’t even check that the person worked for us, it could well be a competitor who has added this, it’s impossible to tell. The biggest challenge to our growth aspirations isn’t paying wages but securing more exceptional talent to fuel our growth areas. If reading this as a prospective employee please be assured that, if successful in our selection process, you will always get paid.

      Excellent plans, poorly executed

      Pros

      Practicus have an excellent vision for how to improve recruitment as a sector and they have some inspiring leaders such as Boyd, Paul Wandless, David Webb and Ben Culora (who I wish I had the chance of working with more closely). They pay well and have a good training structure (If followed and supported by management).

      Cons

      Unfortunately, my experience (which is all I can speak of) was that they have other managers in the business that do not believe in the company values and undermine the business. I was personally subjected to a manager checking all of my emails and generally belittling everything that wasn't his idea, ultimately leaving you unable to make decisions on your own. I was also told that it "wasn't ideal" for me to leave on time to go and see my grandmother in hospital as I hadn't hit my targets, she subsequently passed away 3 days later (luckily enough I got sacked before that and got time to do the important things in life).

      Company Culture Disappointing

      Pros

      Good base salary and guarantee offered for new employess. The right personality can thrive here.

      Cons

      Terrible culture of management and 'cliques'. If you aren't in the 'gang' you will have a hard time regardless of how well you perform. Some really difficult characters in Senior Management and a culture of bullying ignored by the Directors
