Senitor Associates Reviews

I went in as a trainee recruitment consultant... after being told how great their training scheme is... not just by them but also by the recruiter who put me forward. My training turned out to be me sat at my computer, thrown into the deep with no guidance while the manager training me sat on their phone all day texting, or eating. If I didn't do something or made a mistake instead of guiding me they made me feel 2 foot tall and everyone around could hear everything. This was all within the first week, when having never worked in the industry before. Basically you are just giving your manager a little holiday while you do their work for them... and if you get a deal... they get the commission. I got shouted at for leaving work at 7.30pm... I should have stayed later apparently... bearing in mind we started at 8.20am. A social life is impossible unless you hang out with people from the office. The hours are ridiculous. One of the directors is arrogant and uses fear tactics to get people to do their job. The managers are very cliquey and all stick together. You don't stand a chance. This company give recruitment a very bad name. Don't fall for their charms like we did. They sweet talk you and big you up no end in the interview, but as soon as you start working for them it completely changes. It's obvious the good reviews have been written by either one person or forced by someone in the office to write something good. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

One Director is money hungry, megalomaniac, with noones interests but his own at heart. He commands respect using fear. Awful way to manage people.. The other just repeats what he says and any original opinions are quickly forgotten when he's told what to think. It's like dealing with an evil villain and his wind up robot butler. The whole culture leaves you with little time or energy outside of the office and no time for your family. The training (although advertised as great) is you sat with an arrogant consultant who points and says go and then publicly embarrasses you by loudly making you feel stupid if you make a simple mistake in your first week. This is whilst you're doing their work for them and they buy shoes or look at the latest car lease deals. Don't be fooled by the good reviews on here either...it's no surprise they are all written within a week or 2 of each other. Some long standing employees have been honest online and then they've forced everyone that works for them to write a good review, so it doesnt seem that bad. I started at the same time as a few others and they were all gone within a few weeks. I was told recruitment could be a great career choice and since leaving this hell hole I've found out that it's known in the industry to be one of the worst places you can work. AVOID. AVOID. AVOID.
