Pluspunten
The only benefit for me was to get my foot in the door in a recruitment agency which allowed me to get a great role in another agency after my time here.
Minpunten
Horrible bullying culture from the Directors - one in particular in the Accountancy team based from their Glasgow office. Speaks to staff like dirt despite only having 2-3 years experience a long time ago within recruitment and not respected at all for work related and personal reasons. It's a very 'sharkey' environment where your colleagues would steal candidates and hide the fact permanent roles were actually contract so that they could work the role instead and get the fee. Working hours were 8.30 - 6 but if you walked in after 8am or left before 6.30pm it was frowned upon - and in the whole year I was there i was able to take one proper lunch break. Was verbally insulted in a review and was left with low confidence and dreaded coming to work. A lot of people in there hide behind big job titles but in fact are poorly respected in the market. It's a rubbish commission scheme compared to other agencies, and other than having a global name on the door, there really is no selling points to working here. Poor office culture and so many office politics and dramas in and out of office hours. You could times my salary by 10 and I would never work here again.
