Pros
Sales negotiators used to earn a decent salary but that is now questionable as in the majority of cases the targets are now unachievable. A company car is also offered but unfortunately keeps you longer with this appalling company than you want to be. Fellow employees can be fabulous but morale is at an all time low . Our customers are generally retirees and there is a great sense of satisfaction from the interaction with them.
Cons
There is no respect for employees from the management at McCarthy and Stone and they tend to employ the wrong people in middle management positions with very little experience of the industry, our customers and the difficulties of trying to sell retirement apartments in a niche market. They are only interested in profit and would achieve more sales if the apartments were attainable for more people. There is now a real bullying culture which seems to be encouraged. Communication between departments is virtually non-existent and the majority of staff are looking for another job. A very unhappy place of employment to be given a wide berth if you value your self worth and confidence.
