Pros

- As per the title, if your looking for speedy progression and you have a good work ethic, this is definietly the place for you. - Opportunity to earn decent commission compared to some of the competition. - Ability to have an influence on your income. It's mostly down to your own work ethic, but the more you put in the more you will get out. - Regular meetings and events which keeps you in touch with your colleagues in different locations. - Retention. Again, if your work ethic is on point, Dexters will bend over backwards to try and keep you. If you are looking to move location within London, Dexters have the best network of offices to try and find you a new placement. - Pride of working for Londons largest and leading agent. It does make a lot of diffenence to say that you work for the best. - Company growth. It's gone from 1-100 offices in the space of 27 years. Clearly they're doing something right. More growth means more opportunity for the employee's.

Cons

- Hours. These have been reduced recently from what they were, but still a bit longer than some other agents. If your trying, and succeeding, to be the best, it kind of makes sense that we do more hours in the week. - Lower basic pay than some other agents but I'd rather have the opportunity to make more commission than have a slightly better basic pay. - Working some Saturdays, this comes with the job, no matter who the agent. - Up's and down's. The market changes, your pay will change, sometimes better sometimes worse. Again, this comes with the job no matter the agent.

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.
