Pros

They pay for your first CISI (but not for the rest, so basically no real pros found)

Cons

There are couple of points to make here: 1. Before considering taking this job (especially if you're willing to relocate) keep in mind a simple fact that you won't have a basic salary. They brutally lie about how much you're gonna get and what the job exactly is, usually lies starts with the recruiters and passes on throughout the employment process. "Retainer" is what your salary called, look it up. 2. As i've briefly mentioned above they also lie about what the job actually is, and it is not what they tell you, nothing to do with financial sector nor advisory, it is simply telesales. You're gonna have to call people off LinkedIn all day every day, at least 100 of them, that's all the job is. If you're down to cold call random people practically begging them to book a meeting with deVere, then this job is for you. 3. They train you to lie and manipulate people on the phone (must say trainings are good, but again it's a sales training, not a financial investments training). I will just say if the company had a good reputation you wouldn't be trained to call yourselves different names other than "deVere". 4. The environment is toxic. Cutting-throat atmosphere which gives you nothing but stress, you're being pushed over your limits, physically and mentally, just so you can at least get out of your retainer and visa fees. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. All in all don't trust a soul and keep yourself to yourself if you're still willing to work for them, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
