Pros

-You can make good friends considering you're going through the trauma of working here together

Cons

-The retention rate here is appalling. People resign almost daily, only for management to turn around the next day and disparage them to the entire office. -The expectations are absolutely absurd. While high KPIs are common in sales and recruitment, this place takes it to a new level. It's as if the MDs view employees as machines, criticizing and belittling you if you fail to produce 1000 vacancies within 30 seconds. -There is no HR. HR left after only 6 months because of the sheer ridiculousness of this company. Whats humorous is that I am not even allowed to post half of the issues I experienced here due to censorship! -There's a shocking lack of diversity, inclusion, and consideration for mental health or work-life balance. Women are virtually nonexistent here. And god forbid if they are.. for obvious reasons The way management speaks to employees is nothing short of degrading. One MD in particular has serious anger issues and uses the office as a personal rage room. -I wanted to report the MD for the way he screamed, belittled, and bullied me, but of course, there was no HR to report it to. -The directors regularly give long, distracting speeches, boasting about how they got rich and bought Rolexes through "hard work," even though many of them came from private school backgrounds. -They expect you to treat the CEO like a deity. -Working here for just 7 months completely destroyed my mental well-being and distorted my sense of reality.

Pros

Learnt how to use new software Bear in mind that any negative review that’s on here they try to deny. And not take accountability, I 100% worked here and if you do the same will experience the same

Cons

- make you use PTO for a family member who’s passed away. ( company policy apparently ) - how is your office in Brickell and you don’t give any kind of parking and are not lenient of Miami traffic in any way ( manager has no clue about Miami traffic because they scooter to work) - from pretty much day one you will be working the job and even your performance will be analyzed even as an associate. They won’t fail to mention that your ‘ underperforming’ even though your learning the job. I was expected to go home and ‘ resource’ and ‘ learn the 200page recruiting manual’ in which i was reminded daily I would be tested🤣 if you don’t repeat it exactly how it is in the manual you will fail. ( by the way you are actively doing the job , cold calling , getting clients) - when your manager isn’t worried about dealing with his own clients, he will check in and if you manage to get a client instead of trusting your judgement he will then call them back and ask them all of the same questions that you have just asked them. Why give me the job if you’re going to micromanage everything. - the setting is weird one tiny office with no other associates or nothing - you will hear the same words every single day to the point it’s not even motivating. They talk about having a ‘ winners mindset’ and knowing your ‘ long term goals’ every single day. Repeating the same words. - even when managers aren’t in, you will go in to the office alone and have meeting with the UK team🤣 - awful company, I’ve since moved on and the difference between a good company and bad company operating in the United States is so so clear. - make false promises about where the company is going. There’s a reason that in a year and a half they’ve barely grown or can’t keep employees.
