      Pros

      This is a very bad company, so no pros.

      Cons

      This is the worst company I have ever worked for. This company doesn't care about employees and only care and spend money on the higher management. We were doing between 8 to 10 hours overtime a day, unpaid of course! Appalling company! No respect for employees. Absolutely awful. Do not bother to apply.

      Avoid at all costs. Without doubt, the worst place I've ever worked.

      Pros

      Interesting seeing how Commissions work from the other side of the desk. Colleagues were generally nice, before management started pitting us against each other.

      Cons

      They lie. Starting from my interview, they lied. They pay minimum wage but package it up with your legally entitled holiday pay and call it £9 per hour. Frequently not paid overtime, of which there was a significant amount. Management will pretend to be on your side, but throw you under the bus at the first sign of trouble. You will get a bollocking if you make a mistake, but there is no one around to ask for guidance during complex cases. I feel horrible saying this, but unfortunately it's true: you have zero chance of any kind of promotion unless you're Indian.

      Pros

      if you need experience and have no choice

      Cons

      salary is terrible overworked for low pay especially in London High turnover of staff everyone is temporary Management are horrible and patronising Extremely terrible handling of the pandemic attempted to fire 3/4 of staff and then furloughed everyone to then cancel contracts when the scheme ended. Expect you to work like a dog literally do 50 things at once with no recognition
