Thank you for your comments, we appreciate your opinion and take all employee feedback seriously. It’s disappointing to hear that you feel this way as we really do pride ourselves on being professional and hold ourselves to really high standards. We also encourage diversity - 62% of our 2,629 employees are women. Sales businesses can be tough and it’s not for everyone but the team based profit share model we operate around the world usually ensures everyone gets supported in reaching their targets. We never like getting a bad write-up but encourage people to shout out if they are having any issues – if you would like to discuss any of this in confidence, please feel free to contact me; Ingrid, Global HR Director at contact@robertwalters.com and we can have a chat.
