JCW Group Reviews

A very young demographic of employees. Associates hired tend to be from 18+ years old and with this comes inexperience in how to behave in a professional environment. But honestly, it's not professional in any way... very cliquey and constant gossip. There is also a lack of middle management. If you have a problem you have to go to the Directors which can be daunting. They also tend to ignore your problems and give an excuse anyway. Very controlled environment in terms of when to take lunch breaks, only 1 day working from home and daily KPIs. Micromanagement galore!! About 5 consultants have left so far in 2023 and they've fired another 5+ associates! Never seen so many people leave in such a short space of time. The office is also freezing and everyone has hot water bottles, or it's boiling hot (for approx. 2 weeks) in summer and unbearable. £25k base salary whilst being in the office 4 days a week is terrible. Honestly, the job is not worth the stress. The commission is poor and they'll try and find a loophole to not pay you the full amount.

Where do I start? Firstly they make associates write Glassdoor reviews after being in the company for a few months. It’s not a true reflection of how they treat people in this position. This company are quick to get rid of people even though they tell new people joining that it takes about a year to get good at recruitment. Often new people will work poor quality roles and then are blamed for not making a deal 3 months in. Apparently leaving a 6pm means you’re not serious about your job, when we start at 8 and finish at 6. They brought in a new commission scheme that benefits the company more than the colleagues. If you don’t like being Micro managed then don’t even bother. 7 people have left in 2023 and many more will follow suit shortly. The managers at this company aren’t good at their role. If you join this company it will be about 3 months until you hate it here. We was told this company have a high staff retention rate but that is a total lie
