Pros

Nice car, good colleagues to work with

Cons

Poor management structure with little direction or meaningful support. The role is extremely CRM-focused, but the system feels more like a micromanagement tool than something that actually helps drive sales. Training is minimal to non-existent — you're left to figure things out on your own, and when you start falling behind, there's more blame than help. Standard pay is around £1,500 a month, and to earn anything above the £2,000 guaranteed minimum (which is essentially minimum wage), you need to hit at least £500 in commission. This can be very difficult, especially during constant event weeks where you're expected to push large volumes (like full pallets) at incredibly low margins, making commission targets even harder to hit. No structured development, no real support, and no regular team training or collaboration — you're just left to sink or swim.

Pros

They have a lot of on site employee amenities with a hybrid work model. Would recommend negotiating as much remote freedom as possible. Office keeps up the cool techy image and they have professional relationships with interesting product prospects.

Cons

Hard to work with as management is not clear on what they want/need from their employees. Higher ups also have had a history of misogyny and discriminatory behaviour that HR may be trying to keep under wraps and manage the perspective that it never existed but if you get to talk with them more on a personal level, there are signs especially from the other men. Also seems that there is a lack of accountability where management don't talk with each other clearly and expect employees to be the middlemen. Either they figure it out or they are shut out from circles. There is also a superficial act of addressing issues because "startup culture" so they move fast. But just as friendly as they start out, they'll ice you out just as quickly. Somebody also passed away recently and the reaction from management was PC at best.
