Pros

The incentives can be fun. But they will be held over your head if you have any negative feedback at any point.

Cons

The company are not what they seem from the outside. Their marketer does an amazing job at making UMATR seem like a great company to work for but this is very false. They advertise that “people matter” and that they are “diverse and inclusive” when this is far from the case. The company promotes an unhealthy work attitude where they expect everyone to dedicate their life into the business. The company are always finding ways to screw staff, candidates and their partners out of money by finding “grey areas” in contracts and legal papers. 4 members that has left the business has told management that inappropriate behaviour is a factor in them leaving however, the issue was continued to be laughed about rather than addressed. The office is very mysoginistic and management has made comments such as “anyone that gets pregnant will not work for the company” and that they “only hire females that look good in a bikini”, yet they promote an inclusive culture. The OTE is not sustainable, after promoting £100k OTE for over a year, no one within the business has made close to £100k. They also had a lot of time where the staff were paid below minimum wage on £12,000, they hired their first round of employees with no recruitment experience so that they could manipulate them into thinking they could be paid £1k a month because they would hit the crazy target expectations that no one in their first year of recruitment could ever hit. UMATR have been awarded highly prestigious awards due to the culture and values they promote but do not live up to. They discuss the end goal is to end homelessness in the UK by donating money to charities however, far much more money is spent on vanity and incentives and their statistics are not what they show through marketing. I would advise anyone joining the business to take everything that management says with a pinch of salt, as the majority of it is nonsense.

Pros

It is always hard to find a group of people who share the same values but UMATR has definitely done that. - High performing individuals who really celebrate success together - Financial backing to host events, get involved in the communities and do recruitment your way - Training and support provided by everyone, people will make time to support each other - Constantly evolving and finding the best ways to work, happy to try things and see if its successful. - Empowered to work your way with all the tools you require to be successful

Cons

- It's a scaling environment and not for everyone, if you are happy to do the minimum then you will struggle here. You are surrounded by the best and that will 10X you if you want to be on the journey. - Office isn't the best right now but moving to an incredible new space in the coming months.
