Pros

We provide one of the best networking and deal making events in multiple verticals. The team works extremely well together and the environment is very friendly and open to suggestions. The managment team are always there for everyone to either help or suggest ways in making sure we all succeed.

Cons

If your a hustler and work hard the job is great! It's just like any job if you put in the time and effort you will be successful.

Pros

There are quite a lot of pro's to be fair. - Salary is great - the C.E.O, based in Bristol is very friendly, approachable and genuinely gives a crap about how his employees are doing. Has that ward working genuine feel about him. - another PRO is the comission structure is great and you can potentially earn quite a lot. - central location in Bristol and its 8:30-5

Cons

Here is where the CONS came in for me personally - alright there is a lot of training initially, you don't feel prepared fully for what you will be doing, and there's not muh of a development culture going on. You get trained on the concept of how it works, the product and the business model, but don't really get trained on how to do it great. - the job itself is actually very hard, (maybe because of lack of training) felt like I was thrown on to a computer, given a section and then told to somehow find business so it was a bit tough. Overall: it's a cool place to work for, you do learn quite a lot and no matter how good of a sales person you are, you still manage to take away something positive from the experience and learn something new if it's just a stepping stone, or you make this place work for you and progress through the company.
