Pros

-Fellow employees aside from management are wonderful people.

Cons

-There is no training for property managers. The company talks about it's training academy, but essentially you just get a day of watching videos on how to be a great Dexter's employee. - It's essentially a brainwashing camp that tells you to ignore all the red flags you are seeing because the company is quite big. - Poor relationships between the lettings teams and property managers. - Systems are old and outdated - Processes change on a weekly basis without proper notification. It is impossible to keep up to date on them. -Progression for property management is horrendous. - Management do not care about the issues going on and prefer the stick to the carrot treatment when things are going wrong. -On the surface the company likes to give off the whole "one big happy family vibe". In actuality this does not exist. - This is one of the worst paying companies in the industry and the promise of job security is a lie. The company sent out an email saying everyone's job was safe two weeks before making mass redundancies (which were not down to financial issues as the company had just bought two other businesses and had its best week&month for revenue in lettings and sales). On top of this the company chose to cut staff that could have been put on furlough as they could not be bothered to go through the process. -Diversity is non existent. - The company will just move you to another office where they see fit and usually you will have no say in the matter.

Pros

Wonderful! Outstanding! Incredible! Just some of the many words that can be used to describe Value consulting. They carefully helped me through the process to get our H1B visa. Even through the long and sometimes unbearable waiting times, they kept me believing that I would succeed in the end. Well, thanks to their professional handling of my application I did succeed and now in the US.Familiar environment, nice and, available colleagues. Good salary, very interesting projects, great clients, big exposure to senior management of clients, possibility to work abroad.

Cons

Challenging projects but not bad at all.

Pros

Christmas party is alright. It's free drinks and food. But it's on a Thursday night every year cause they don't want you to drink to much and don't like it when people book the next day off.

Cons

Overworked, treated like a child and spreading Propaganda about the property being fantastic all the time. They discard their staff like candy wrappers. Dexter's management are a real piece of work. The environment they create in the workplace is toxic and encourages alpha male bullying. They want total control over you and believe you should work in the Dexters way. They even tell you how to write your draw your own diary and and do diary check ups once in a while to make sure you comply. How sad that they mark you on how organized your diary is... and if you drawn your diary correctly with two lines in the middle and if you bullet point your tasks correctly. This is no joke. They do this. They say you start at 8:30am and you work till 7pm. But in reality if you turn up at 8:20am they give you a stern telling off. And say that you need to be in before then. They really expect you to start at 7:50am - 8:00am. And you work 6 days a week. People are going to say they pay you well. But if you work out the hours you put in vs the money you get. it levels out to the same as any other job. But Expect to exhausted all the time and treated terribly. Omg and the meetings. They love everyone super pumped and love lip service. You have to tell them what they wanna hear other it's career suicide. If you talk or are seen to be realist and to say the market down. Your seen as negative and that's it your career progression is over.
