Pros

There is none at all

Cons

Worst place to work wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy! You’ll get called offensive names all day, the management are totally out of order and unfair they pick favourites. They push you out the door and make you want to leave. There is no work and life balance, they will make you stay late and come in 2 hours early and if you don’t you will get in trouble or they will give you the silent treatment. Targets are unrealistic you will never hit them! Commission is less than £10!!!! You’ll be over worked and treated like dirt. Candidates are constantly getting picked on and prank called when they just ring up to enquiry about a job then staff will transfer them through to Pizza Hut!!! Management reduced employees to tears a lot of the time!! One rule for one and one for another!! No progression what so ever!! Management are disgusting and disrespectful and very offensive!!

Pros

Loved my team. My Manager was incredibly supportive, understand, and always rooting for myself as well as my teammate's success. Remote work was highly flexible and accommodating.

Cons

Pay was a little low and you don't get paid for holidays in your probationary period but there's growth opportunities after 6 months of employment.

Pros

Recruiter was responsive at first, and the team I spoke with at the client company seemed professional and genuinely kind.

Cons

Here’s a more detailed “Cons” you can use and tweak: Cons: I went all the way through onboarding for a contract role, spent a full day last week chasing down and uploading sensitive documents (including my passport), and was told I’d be starting this week. Then, at the last minute, I got a single text saying I “didn’t pass” a third‑party ID check — with no explanation of what supposedly failed and no formal notice or report to review. As an American citizen using a valid passport, it’s really disturbing to have a job pulled over an opaque automated screening and to be told “other factors” were flagged without anyone willing or able to say what they were. Even after repeatedly asking, I was given no more than a generic privacy policy and bounced between contacts, which feels extremely careless with my time, my livelihood, and the very private identity data they collected. Best‑practice guidance for background checks says candidates should get clear written notice and a chance to understand or dispute issues before a job is taken away; that absolutely did not happen here.
