Pros

A few staff were nice

Cons

I read all these reviews before I started, well aware that there were some bad ones I told myself "these are probably negative people". I was wrong. I worked here for 6 months and hated every second. The whole structure of the company was awful and the personal development was completely lacking. I went in as an extremely decorated and confident salesman but left wondering if I was any good at sales (Which isn't true as I continue to lead teams in achieving high targets). I can remember on the week before I decided to quit from the UK office crying on the phone to my partner and just saying how unhappy I am. The management will shout at you on the big shop floor with everyone present. I have always been taught that when praising you do this in front of everyone but with criticism it has to be done behind closed doors. The ability to travel and earn well sold me this job. Bottom line is this is a playground, not a professional working space. They will leave you wondering what you are worth and I would say only 1 in 10 could survive being in such an awful environment. They benefits are shocking and I really hope this review helps people make the right decision.

Pros

Fast paced but great place to work. Lots of opportunities and a really great team.

Cons

Can be short term focused but this isn't necessarily bad a thing - its about being flexible, agile and willing to adapt

Pros

Great work environment if you want to make a lot of money and work hard. Making great strides this year around marketing, customer service and quality control. Great manager support and team environment.

Cons

This is a career, not a job and you have to work hard and give 110%. Not a good fit for someone just looking to sit at a desk taking up space. Prospective employees and clients believe the trash written by spineless cowards that hide behind anonymity.
