Pros

Great office, great team and great Boss!! I've worked in the office now for just over two years and each day is never the same! The atmosphere in the office is brilliant. Everyone gets on so well, not just as colleagues but as friends. The company has also given me the opportunity to experience so many amazing things that I just wouldn't have been able to do on my own. If you're willing to work hard and smash targets, the rewards are fantastic! I've been on nights out in London, weekend trips to Paris and will be off for a week to Germany soon. They've sponsored me to complete the Three Peaks Challenge and I'm even just about to start Spanish Lessons, all courtesy of Wesser. The company really cares about your own personal development as well as your professional development. All in all, a great fun, family company to work for!!

Cons

Often end up with a sore throat at the end of the day after speaking to so many lovely applicants ;)

Pros

NO PROS AT ALL other than free food and hotel stay.

Cons

they give up responsibility for their employees as soon as their staying in one of wessers homes. The contract states that if you go inside someone's house wesser at not responsible for what might happen to you. The commission is a load of lies. You would have to be knocking over 100 doors everyday to make any decent wage to live off. Your self employed so they can sack you whenever they feel like it and you will not get paid holiday or days off. You will not be told where your relocated until the day they send you off in cab. The campaign coaches are absolute morons and completely inappropriate. DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY SAY, you will also be expected to pay alot more money than they tell you - for uniform, petrol, bills for the house etc. I am an 18 year old taking year out before uni. I thought wesser would provide a excellent opportunity to work with a charity, however the reality is wesser are money grabbing filth. They exploit every and any kind of people from the disabled to the very elderly however the contract states otherwise to 'cover their backs' furthermore if wesser will ask you to leave your accommodation if your not earning enough on commission. Wesser offered a opportunity to work for them in Wales however I turned it down due to the unprofessional and disgusting attitude of the company and its employees.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you have had a poor experience fundraising with us and would welcome the opportunity to discuss the issues covered in more detail. The campaign support team are available on: 01462 704 860. As you will be aware, we support an outbound fundraising team in excess of 600 personnel per year and have very few complaints. It is therefore of the utmost importance that we are able to speak with any individual that believes their experience was not up to the standard they expected. In regards to pay we provide an hourly rate of £7.30 per hour with a commission structure that rewards those who strive to work hard and generate an income for our charity partners. It is fairly common that individual fundraisers may knock on in excess of 100 doors per day although targets are typically achieved with a quality over quantity approach. As a result our newer fundraisers earn in the region of £1500 - £1600 per month. Our fundraising activities are regulated by the Fundraising Standards Board and our own codes of conduct. As part of this regulation we must ensure that donors have made a fully informed decision to support our charity partners. If this is not the case fundraisers will be asked to leave the organisation immediately. This is to protect both donors and charity partners. All individuals representing the recruitment team have either been previous fundraisers/team leaders or have taken part in a minimum level of direct fundraising while with the company. This is to ensure that the selection process provides an honest view of the fundraising role while selecting candidates that we believe will have the most positive impact for our charity partners. Should you have any further questions or would like to discuss any of the points made please do not hesitate to contact us on: 01462 704 860.

Pros

The pay is good, a chance to see and meet many different people and towns, a chance to travel, converse and build bridges, lots of fun :)

Cons

Not all people at the door are friendly, must learn to have a tough skin sometimes, a lot of energy and endurance must be put in, sometimes working late shifts.
