Pros

Simple means to progression as a Sales/Lettings negotiator. Hit your targets and hammer your boss for progression and they'll promote you as it is a growing company and they like to hire from within. CRT comes with 0 training from anyone who knows what they're talking about. I learnt more about sales in 6 months of my new job then I did in 4 years in CRT. Take a CRT job if you really need one but don't stay there any longer than 1-2 years. You will get 0 benefit from this.

Cons

Employees in CRT are second class citizens and treated as an afterthought. An example of this is quarterly team nights out are often delayed until the following quarter as management don't care (i.e. Quarter 3 night out was delayed until 6th of December). There are worse infractions but I've already told those to management over the years and they didn't act on it. For comparison, my current employer books the quarterly nights out months in advance and 5 of the major points I was hammering Dexters to implement to improve the work and the work environment are in place in my current work space and it is a far superior experience with better results. Don't try to change Dexters. They aren't interested. The building is generally quite dirty with a constant wall of bogeys in the bathrooms. They will do everything they can not to promote you.

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.
