Pros

They only hide about 80% of real information from you. Finding out from our candidates that we owe millions of pounds :)

Cons

Pay the lowest commission out there. Manipulate you. Take on too many trainee’s so they can earn more. Be made to feel bad if you don’t attend additional events. Shocking management. Feels like you are at school here. Never get straight answers don't even tell you about your commission properly. Will try to do you over at any given chance
