Pros

A great company to join when looking for a role straight out of uni. Training is absolutely superb & plenty going on socially.

Cons

A bit too KPI focussed. Some rather inflated egos too.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. We’re very pleased to hear your positive comments around our training and that you enjoyed the social side of the business. We strive to provide the best training in the industry, and it’s something we’re known for, so it’s great that you’ve picked up on that. We do focus on KPIs as it’s important in a sales based business, but we like to think people come before a pure emphasis on process. Sorry that wasn’t your experience. One of the things we do to ensure we don’t forget that is to work on a team project share basis. So consultants aren’t working on an individual commission. We think this focuses everyone on working together and that’s different to a lot of competitors. We’re always keen to hear employee feedback so if you would like to get in touch, please feel free to email me; Ingrid, Group HR Director at contact@robertwalters.com.

Pros

Lots of opportunity. Good insight into internal recruitment. Bonus potential. Less pressure than agency side. Exposure to senior stakeholders. Can use client perks.

Cons

Long hours. Not much flexibility around ways of working. Complex processes. Admin. Can't hide from a hiring manager. Things can change quickly as the business looses and gains business.
