Pros
Superb/generous commission structure. Stability: could forge a career here, seems recession resilient, very stable management team. Location: heart of city of London, great office. Friendly co workers including management. Proactive and collaborative marketing department. Supportive HR department and great effort put into employee wellbeing e.g. monthly socials, parties and beers on Friday. Aside from technology resources are good. Some really superb opportunities. Once in a lifetime stuff! Not at all necessary, but done at the grace of management.
Cons
Technology is improving but still frustrating (slow computers/occasional dropouts). I'm told large investment is being put into our tech, so this part of the review may be obsolete in coming months. Management can be poor at receiving feedback/recognizing new ideas: the phrase "we've never done that here" is heard regularly as a means of overruling innovation or dismissing an individual's skillset. Whilst the longevity of the company must be respected, it has not grown in size or evolved any new approach in over 20 years.

Pros
- Members of staff are really friendly and genuinely seem to care about you once you make friends with them - Free breakfast in the morning and soft drinks from the fridge whenever you want - Flexible working hours are a big plus and working here will definitely look good on the CV - Great Old Street location (they are due to move to Alie Street in Aldgate in January however)
Cons
- A highly political and toxic environment to work in. You don’t know where you stand with the company - unless you’re making it money and are seen, but not heard. - Cliques are sadly in abundance in the office which is not the fault of employees – but of management and its practices. Gossiping and Chinese whispers were aplenty during my tenure with the company. - The MD (who legit looks like Ness from Super Smash Bros) and his closest advisers - namely HR - are all nice and smiles to your face. But they are always making judgments and talking behind your back – which I found out the hard way in the end. - CCTV cameras in the office – which I’m told on good authority the MD constantly reviews to potentially “weaponise” against employees. Small whispers abound he actually reads the emails of employees as well. - No compassion when it comes to a work/life balance – especially if it relates to an unforeseen emergency circumstance. Pray to God you don’t have one while working here.
