Pros

Some of the other consultants are decent genuine people and you can make good money if you are good at recruitment. Good social working hours early finish on a Friday. If changes were made to management it could be a great place to work.

Cons

Disappointedly I have found most of the negative reviews on here are true. Heavily micromanaged high pressured environment. Manipulative management from senior staff and archaic ideology of how staff should be treated. Conflict within the workplace seems to be handled badly and insensitively. Any personal or medical issues reported will not be confidential like they say I have heard colleagues problems spread as common office gossip. Things that happen here would not stand in any other forward thinking business and at times can have total disregard for their duty of care towards staff. Rewarded for your hard work with even more difficult targets and blamed if unachieved. Training programme consists of being talked at and you are given a senior title immediately even if you have no recruitment experience then clients will expect you to live up to what they think a senior consultant can do. It sounds nice to be senior right away but then there is nowhere to progress from there and nothing to work toward but more fees. Probably why turnover is high. Laptops for working from home are kept locked away in the office and you are not allowed to work from home unless you have covid.

Pros

Could kill some time from the consistent micromanaging to write fake reviews.

Cons

This is the worst company I’ve ever worked at, it took years off my life, I was threatened and was told I wouldn’t be paid. That’s illegal!
