Pros
Initial training and L&D follow ups are great for helping progression and the new offices in London are fantastic
Cons
The boiler room culture is stuck in the dark ages. Phone hammering and "one shoe fits all" KPI's are ridiculous. The perceptions are nothing shy of scandalous and the office politics and gossiping is a joke. They are more focused on what you appear to be doing than your actual results. A strict dress code and the way they treat those that are different make it a terrible place to work long term. Aston Carter's philosophy...let's throw mud at a wall and see what sticks. A great place to start one's career, so you can learn what not to do in the future. Too many glass ceilings to break through to realistically progress. Oh and any promises they make you during your interview. Don't believe, they lie, and force you to lie to others. Making people work 60 hours a week + for a recruiter fee of 300 and the need to do 6 deals and a 360 before getting promoted to billing, on a basic of 20k...But it's not all about the deals to get promoted, one has to show Aston Carter values. So realistically it will be a year before earning commission. on 20k + 300, and they expect you to be over the moon when you do a deal.
