Pros

The employees are nice and welcoming. It helps to improve your communication skills. Good to get experience for about 2 months in summer but relying on it as your sole source of income is too risky in my opinion unless you worked there for longer than 6 months and it is good at manipulating customers to switch.

Cons

100% uncapped commission-based which means you only get paid when you make a sale which is annoying since it supposed to be a training program and for the number of hours you work you don't even pay hourly or even a living wage. No work-life balance, you spend all your time with co-workers. Loud Music. Too much brainwashing. Slightly deceiving job titles on LinkedIn for example marketing assistant but you go in for interview you get told on a training program to set up your own office. Not worth it for uni grads who just finished uni. Too much manipulating especially in the pitch to try and get people to change their gas and electric suppliers. They try to sell the dream of financial freedom and how they care about personal development of young people but they don't even provide them an income, because they are outsourcing company the third party company pays the employees but they only pay when you make the sale. Also very low career development, all you are doing is knocking people's door talking them about gas and electric. Also some customers see right through whatever they are trying to sell, and when they are not interested in switching they are not interested and some of these employees go a bit too far trying to push them to try and look at other gas/electric deals. You work from 10.30 am-9 pm if you are ISA, but when you reach leadership you work even longer hours. In the interview, the interviewer stated they are looking to create new manager in 6-8 months but they are people who work there longer than those who are yet to even open their own office.

Pros

Kyanite Evolution offered me the opportunity to become a trainee manager for the company, going from entry level sales to manager in only 6-8 months. It sounded too good to be true, but it was honestly one of the most stable and educational training processes I’ve ever been part of. They focus on communication and having fun whether that be out working in the field with customers or having banter in the office with your colleagues. I have never met such hard-working people in my life, I couldn’t help but be driven by their motivation and love of their job. Working with Kyanite I was able to gain marketing and sales knowledge from the best in the business as well as improving my communication and people skills to a world class level. If you like to travel, then this company is definitely for you. I personally got to travel to different cities/towns across the UK to either approach customers for sales or to network with award winning offices to seek knowledge and advice about the business world. They also offer bigger opportunities to travel abroad to network with colleagues and other business people.

Cons

• It is not an easy job. You must work very hard to keep up and compete with everybody else in your team. However, there is an overwhelming amount of support from colleagues, especially the manager. • The hours are very long, and you are working 6 days a week. • I unfortunately had to leave due to personal circumstances, however, working for Kyanite Evolution has been the most positive life-changing experience I've ever had.

Pros

Working for Kyanite Evolution Before Hayley expanded to Nottingham, I worked with her and Kyanite Evolution. The first thing I noticed about the company is that it’s not only about professional development but also personal. Before I came into the business I managed a chain restaurant and had 0 experience in sales and virtually no confidence. I can say that working with Alex at Glow 360 has developed my confidence indefinitely and awakened a passion for sales I never knew I had, which allowed me to develop the skills to move home to Sheffield, to be closer to my family, of which Alex was totally supportive with. The best part about the company is that there is continuous development everyday. I always came away learning something well. All my friends and family have complimented how it’s developed my communication skills and confidence. I love that there’s no seniority and that hard work really does equal progression. Not only are the people you work with your business partners but they also become your best friends because you know they actually care.

Cons

I have no cons for this company or position
