Proco Group Response

Hi Tim, thanks for your review, Interesting - but not entirely factual. Firstly, whilst it hasn't been our greatest year, as with the vast majority of companies in our industry, There have been an awful lot of headwinds over the past 12 months that go a long way to explaining that. Secondly, we have lots of great people in this business who have understood that, knuckled down and produced incredible results. You weren't one of them, having billed less than your day rate over the previous 18 months (which I'm sure you haven't told your new employer). Interestingly, our best two months of the year have been since you left which I'm sure is a coincidence, but it feels quite symbolic. Finally, thank you for your "strategic" advice, I'll be sure to take it all on board. I wish you well Tim.

Pros

Work hard play hard mentality. You bill, you make money, simply put. You work hard, you are awarded, simply put. Supportive environment. The business is patient to allow people time to get up and running. If the business sees that you are putting the effort in, they will help you and support you to get to your goals.

Cons

The business, like every other company in the world has had to make changes and look at how they approach the market and overall, the internal landscape. Perhaps those decisions weren't easy for the business, but everything that was done was with everyone's best interest in mind.

Pros

Very competitive base salary for the role.

Cons

- was not given sales tools i would revive in the interview process. Had to fight for 6+ months before getting a LinkedIn recruiter license. No other tools for gathering contact info or creating email campaigns. - they lied in the interview process about existing relationships exaggerating them greatly. I was sent an excel file claiming that they had certain clients that i later found we did not actually have relationships with - my manager would come into work drunk. I had to start hiding my client calls from him as he showed up to one highly intoxicated creating a very embarrassing situation - my manager intentionally removed sections of a business proposal before the clients initial review and the DocuSign version in attempt to trick them into doing business with us. This later back fired. - zero support from leadership, or training to help build business
