Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I’m sorry to hear your experience with us felt this negative, that’s clearly not how anyone should feel about their workplace. While we don’t recognise the picture you’ve described, we know we won’t always get things right and we take feedback seriously. If you’d ever like to share more detail about what didn’t work for you, we’re always open to listening and learning.

Pros

The company itself is good

Cons

They dont understand how to incentivise good behaviour and performance from staff, constantly threatening dismissal for even a single bad month

Poor management & organisation. Laid off after 6 weeks.

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice colleagues. Pay is good if you exceed the ever more difficult to reach targets. Training was good.

Cons

Joined at the start of October, sacked before the end of November. Wasn't given a fair chance and terminated with no warning. Management is poor. Saw the team leader about 3 times the whole time I worked there. His job was to be in the field and to support us. I never felt supported.
