Pros
- Working remotely. - Benefits aren't bad. - Others in the 'market' seem to know about the mess here which makes explaining why you are no longer working there easy.
Cons
- Being told that if you do not work 40 to 60 hours, you need to leave. There is so much toxicity from ONE person and it filters down and lately the message is... don't like it? LEAVE. - KPI focus. It's heavy and the middle managers (who are mostly clueless and out of their depth) are getting such pressure from above to ensure recruiters are hitting their KPI's, in turn making them behave like the KPI police. - Lots of lies about career progression. I was told that the company is good if you want to move into different roles and they don't like letting people go, and would prefer to move them elsewhere to be given a chance. Lies. - The training. Pathetic, childish, and too long where you are taught a lot of irrelevant things. POW is a load of nonsense and being told to do 'call plans' and 'call lists' is ridiculous. - The culture is very childish and lacks professionalism. - You are expected to build your own client base up, there are no dormant clients or anything. Some parts offices corner parts of the market meaning you cannot targets specific clients or industries. - Nepotism. - Being made to part take in business development call blocks.
