Amazing company to work for!

Business Outlook

Pros

- Rewarded for Productivity / Hard work - Many incentives / benefits (free food, refreshments, long breaks, occasional month long commission upgrades if you meet set targets) - Incredible atmosphere + colleagues are all super nice - Plenty of room for development, consistent coaching and support - You are kept in the loop about everything from all areas of the organisation - Given responsibility the moment you join (trusted to work independently but also not "thrown in the deep end")

Cons

- Work/Life balance has the possibility of being disrupted if not meeting targets (sometimes have to work outside paid hours if it means getting a sale) - Training process is short but tedious at points, bit of an information dump. However, you will learn so much faster "on the job"
