Pros

As a middle eastern 23 year old man (in 2014), I believed there was a limit to my altitude in an industry like this. I joined Dexters as a lettings consultant and I haven't stopped developing since. Put the income to one side for a moment. . . My knowledge, skills and character have seen a much-needed upgrade and my wings were forcefully spread throughout my entire career. I am a Muslim. The respect and flexibility I have received my entire career have been nothing short of amazing. I have been able to use all 100 offices across London to complete my daily prayers, without any resistance. One thing that kept me striving to succeed, was watching my seniors become managers, my managers become directors and my directors become managing directors. Watching this company grow each year, was mirrored in my own success. Now back to the salary. . . There isn't one. It is up to me, I decide. Every year I decided my own salary and simply went and got it. Every time I wanted an adjustment in my salary, the company guided me to make slight adjustments in myself and that was it. We all want that £50k to £100k Jump. I see no other company which offers you the opportunity and the guidebook to go along with it. My first lettings manager used to say, just take a deep breath and dive in, I'll see you at the deep end.

Cons

I have two families to take care of. My wife and two kids and the other bunch I spend 12 hours a day with in the office. Reduced hours would be amazing, in order to spend more time with my kids, but saying that, without the second bunch, I would be able to give my kids the life they are enjoying now. (Thankfully) Dressing down feels odd. I wear a suit probably six days a week. I barely have any casual clothes. On the plus side, I look sharp 24/7.

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.
