Pros

Absolutely nothing. I have really messed up my life doing this.

Cons

left us stranded in Scotland, the job seemed promising enough and too good to be true...... it was! I moved with my partner to Scotland for the job 400 miles away from home, my first day after driving for 4 hours I was straight into work, didn't have time to unpack for 3 days as the second we woke up it was training time and then out to work until 8. Team leader was way too positive so positive it left a negative effect. I did well on my first day but fundraising in Scotland is not a good idea, I was left close to tears after almost every door. The pressure that was put on me to meet the targets was too much. My partner got fired for not meeting the targets so I quit with him. After firing him we were left stranded 400 miles away from home with no way of getting home and no money. Worst experience of my life.

Pros

Nothing positive to say however this may change

Cons

I worked for the company as a student and was placed in company-arranged accommodation in Slough. The arrangement was described as free accommodation with earnings, but I experienced unexpected costs and a lack of clarity around pay. During my time there, I felt the working environment was highly stressful and unsupportive. After a short period without successful sign-ups, I was dismissed and asked to leave the accommodation with very short notice. Overall, my experience did not match what was initially communicated to me, and I would advise others to seek full clarity on terms before joining.
