Pros

Some of the colleagues I met.

Cons

The workload is overwhelming due to the number of properties comparing to the PM’s that the company employs. I had several landlords comment on the staff turnaround and not feeling confident in the company due to the turnover. From the time I started and left, all but one of my 15 colleagues have now left the company. I was promised promotions but only if I didn’t hang out with colleagues outside of work, not be on WhatsApp groups and to become a person that they want you to be. The management style is very hitler youth. They want you to be dexters and not an individual. The heads of the company are ruthless and rude, no respect for their employers opinions and needs. They consistently dangle the carrot of promotion and only offer it once you hand in your notice. Lots of false promises. Poor base salary, no incentives, no staff drinks after work as all managers are told not to hang around with their team. The whole company is toxic and all these false reviews are not fooling anyone.

Pros

Wonderful! Outstanding! Incredible! Just some of the many words that can be used to describe Value consulting. They carefully helped me through the process to get our H1B visa. Even through the long and sometimes unbearable waiting times, they kept me believing that I would succeed in the end. Well, thanks to their professional handling of my application I did succeed and now in the US.Familiar environment, nice and, available colleagues. Good salary, very interesting projects, great clients, big exposure to senior management of clients, possibility to work abroad.

Cons

Challenging projects but not bad at all.

Pros

Christmas party is alright. It's free drinks and food. But it's on a Thursday night every year cause they don't want you to drink to much and don't like it when people book the next day off.

Cons

Overworked, treated like a child and spreading Propaganda about the property being fantastic all the time. They discard their staff like candy wrappers. Dexter's management are a real piece of work. The environment they create in the workplace is toxic and encourages alpha male bullying. They want total control over you and believe you should work in the Dexters way. They even tell you how to write your draw your own diary and and do diary check ups once in a while to make sure you comply. How sad that they mark you on how organized your diary is... and if you drawn your diary correctly with two lines in the middle and if you bullet point your tasks correctly. This is no joke. They do this. They say you start at 8:30am and you work till 7pm. But in reality if you turn up at 8:20am they give you a stern telling off. And say that you need to be in before then. They really expect you to start at 7:50am - 8:00am. And you work 6 days a week. People are going to say they pay you well. But if you work out the hours you put in vs the money you get. it levels out to the same as any other job. But Expect to exhausted all the time and treated terribly. Omg and the meetings. They love everyone super pumped and love lip service. You have to tell them what they wanna hear other it's career suicide. If you talk or are seen to be realist and to say the market down. Your seen as negative and that's it your career progression is over.
