Pros

None - since strike took over all pro’s of working for PB are gone.

Cons

- low wage (just over minimum wage) - very low commission (way lower than high street) - VERY LONG HOURS - you will work way over your contracted hours, this is expected. - inexperienced managers - literally have no idea how to be an estate agent let alone a manager - unsociable working hours - expect to work till 8-9pm every night and every weekends (including sundays) - inexperienced staff is lowering the company standard - all decent staff members have left (because of the above) - 60-70 hour weeks, every week and with this you will be lucky to make £1000 commission (REALLY LUCKY) - HUGE workload that makes it impossible to just work your contracted hours - preach about wellbeing but run their employees into the ground - staff dress like they are going for drinks when attending valuations, trainers, jeans etc - no professionalism at all (another cheap strike trait) - strike do not value experience or knowledge of the industry - you will cover a huge patch which means on top of the expected 5 valuations a day you will then have to drive around 2-3 on top of that (then have a whole load of admin to do as well) - no work life balance AT ALL - the company wont be here much longer, its running at a loss and all decent staff members are leaving, its a dead company
