Pros

Supportive team “Move fast” type culture Respectful of working day vs life outside work Flat hierarchy so if you want to make a change, it doesn’t need to be approved multiple times to get a decision Lots of opportunities to grow and develop.

Cons

“Move fast” type culture can be frustrating when decisions are rushed, leading to temporary processes and the need for process changes later down the line

Pros

High Basic Salary and commission

Cons

Wolf of Wall Street environment, they always threaten to sack you at every opportunity so you feel like you have no job security. Poor management, making you make in excess of 150 cold calls a day and standing over your desk micromanaging you. Unflexible hours, with rigid breaks of when you can get coffee and have your lunch, with the odd occasion of ‘detention’ making you stay behind late and no leaving the premises.
