Pros

Originally the remote working but it’s changed, social events can be good and the employees are nice

Cons

Don’t join this shambles of a company if you want your mental health intact, you’ll also lose your passion for your work…and life in general….   They are constantly changing targets to reach incentives, racism is covered up and they removed reviews about it but they bang on about how diverse and inclusive they are, benefits are given then taken away months after, MD has no idea what he is doing other than spinning out cliché positive quotes, there is zero trust and if you do something good the leaders will still find a way to make it negative.   They’ll pull you in by promising things, but it soon becomes clear it’s all a bunch of lies. It’s an anxiety driven environment, and your passion for recruitment or sales will be lost after working for this place not long after joining. This place does not reflect what recruitment can be.   They will fire people after a matter of weeks for what they call under performance but they brush aside big issues. They pretend to support you when dealing with personal issues but talk about you behind your back, different rules for different people…just depends who they like. It’s a revolving door, and shocking how little growth they have had (or haven’t had) in all these years, previously Ampersand Consulting but rebranded to develop - check out those reviews for the truth. All good reviews are written by current employees who are asked to do this. The list could go on and on for how appalling this company truly is.

Pros

Some of the social events

Cons

If you want an honest review about this company, then look no further! When I joined, I was promised the world. I was promised great incentives and rewards, amazing benefits and I was told management were human. After a few weeks I soon came to realise the LIES I was told! Incentives are there, but only for the top billers which you cannot compete with. Rewards and benefits are given and then just taken away. And the management are far from human. One of the directors is one of the rudest people I have ever met. He's treats you like a child, talks nastily about other employees behind their back, has no idea what he is doing or how to run a business. Sets targets but constantly moves the goal post. Nothing is ever good enough. The other director is just as bad. They both ignore you if you make a harassment or discrimination compliment about another staff member, even when they have been racist! They protect the leaders over anyone else. Always say they are there to support you, yet when you ask for it they question you and make you feel bad. Talk about workhouse culture. Destroys your mental health and will make you question every future employer you have. The staff numbers have over halved in a year and you wonder why. Get rid of people without even giving them a chance. Do yourself a favour and stay well away. Look up Ampersand Consulting if you want to see more true reviews, rather than the ones on here which are written by management themselves.

Pros

some nice people working there but that is it

Cons

This is the worst place to work, after leaving you realise that it is so toxic and not what the real world is like. The management is horrible and receive no reprimands for treating their team like garbage because they make money, they are selfish and do not care about your mental wellbeing at all. even harassment claims are brushed under the rug because there is no HR
