      - Friendly and approachable colleagues and staff - Opportunity to progress in your career or switch to a similar roles, but in a different department or location

      Cons

      - Worked Sundays (Sunday to Thursday) due to Sunday check-ins from the students at the residence and the hours weren't the best - 10:00 - 19:00. - Pay was fairly low for London standards

      Pros

      Well structured, comprehensive formal training. Perks and benefits

      Cons

      Once training is done, you’re pretty much on your own to figure things out. The weekly meetings with your manager end. You spend all day on the phones and there’s not a whole lot of interaction or collaboration going on in the office or across your team. At the end of the day it is a job and the perks and benefits are nice (travel). It just seemed social interaction of any kind, even to ask questions, was discouraged and in fact was viewed as distracting. The cold calling just gets to be tiring after a while, making it hard to stay at the job for longer than 1-2 years. Good entry level sales job, though.
