Pros

The company as a whole from my experience has seen substantial improvement over the last year. They have heavily invested time and investment towards training staff in the correct way. Not only to ensure they are equipped with the right skill set, but also the right support. Management want to ensure that staff remain in the company and are making sure to support staff 24/7. The salary for this type of role also is a great income and the commission incentives having recently changed allow you to earn some phenomenal money when you truly work hard. Especially for Meet the Boss which i work on, the atmosphere across the floor is fantastic. A young atmosphere of friendly men and women, all keen to work hard and enjoy the pub on a Friday now we are able to again. Definitely a great place to work. One thing I was surprised with was truly how involved Spencer and the senior management get involved with the day to day within Meet the Boss. Most CEO's and Founders will sit in the background but Spencer truly drives the atmosphere in the floor and ensures staff feel valued also.

Cons

The job is a challenging job, it's not an easy sell talking to such senior executives and the job therefore won't be for everyone. It does require a strong mindset and a work hard attitude as most sales jobs would.

Pros

Met a few good people here, but none of them lasted. Everyone eventually quit or got pushed out.

Cons

This company is a perfect example of how to burn out employees, squander talent, and mismanage a sales org. Team members are often overlooked, talked down to, and treated more like call-center output than actual professionals. My manager consistently interacted with me and others in ways that were discouraging and demoralizing, and it was clear there was little interest in coaching or developing people. The culture feels more like a clique-driven high school environment than a workplace. Turnover is nonstop, and the atmosphere noticeably changes whenever senior leadership is around. KPIs are unrealistic, and the product is genuinely tough to sell in the current market. Hitting quota is rare, many reps only close a couple of small deals the entire year, and the commission structure doesn’t make it any easier. You’re closely monitored from the moment you log in, and by mid-morning you’re already being questioned about your activity. Late hours are common due to rigid activity requirements. Training is minimal, senior reps generally keep to themselves, and asking for help sometimes gets interpreted as not being capable rather than trying to improve. The day-to-day environment is loud, chaotic, and high stress. Headphones aren’t allowed. Standards are enforced unevenly. Some people are given a wide berth, while others are micromanaged over very small things. The culture leans heavily on pressure, constant urgency, and short-term reactions instead of any real long-term strategy or leadership approach. If you care about your mental health, professional development, or actually improving as a salesperson, I’d strongly recommend looking at other companies. Leaving this role was genuinely one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career.
