Pros

Friendly staff for the most part. Early finish Friday

Cons

If you're a natural salesman, you will do well. However, apply with caution. They were using many portals, including a British gas portal, which tell them when current companies' energy contracts expire. They would explicitly say that you are not allowed to tell the customer you have access to this portal. Therefore, they are working very much in the grey area at the least, and I expect that actually they are probably working illegally within their means and should they be looked into closer, I would doubt they will be allowed to keep running as a company.

We are proud to say we are a friendly flock, and we are glad you enjoyed finishing early on a Friday so you can start your weekend just that bit earlier! We work to strict industry standards and regulations and adhere to all of our obligations. Some of our customers choose to provide permission for us to view the details of their supply on a central database. We ask for their express permission before doing so. Whilst obtaining quotes from a range of suppliers to ensure we are getting the most appropriate deal for tailored requirements we also confirm the information provided is correct to ensure accuracy, quality and a smooth transfer of supply. We deal with all of our customers with the utmost transparency and integrity. This is why as a company we are trusted by thousands of companies small and large with their energy portfolios. Anyone interested in reading customer reviews can do so on Trust Pilot.

Pros

Free food and good training

Cons

Extremely micromanaged, everyone’s a bit all over the place as the ceo is constantly changing his mind how he wants everyone to work, you would very often see staff crying and also management either crying or being screamed at by the ceo, people would quit every day, the job is made a lot more difficult by how much they harass you, I would strongly advise against getting a job here, the money is okay, but you could find a job with much nicer people for the same pay
