Pros

Free cheap coffee and sometimes milk? Incentive company trip to Ibiza, now suspended due to poor performance

Cons

Racial discrimination Expect to be called names by the top management and ridiculed in public Drug use environment encouraged by top management Cruel, bully tactics from the Owners who don't support their staff in anyway Really high turnover (even for a recruitment agency) at least 4 people leave each month Mice infestation and they won’t do anything about it, droppings all over the kitchen and desks No training Pressured to work longer hours than contracted The Senior Management is a joke and they are currently looking to leave Back office and accounts department are useless Tax evasion Avoid at all costs!

Pros

Public transport near the office

Cons

Hmmm where shall we start? 1- Staff turnover is ridiculously high! I have never seen so many consultants come and go in my life! 2-Bullying is at an all time high for this company. It is almost as though they thrive on it. 3-If you do not drink alcohol or use narcotics then don't bother joining this agency. 4-London office infested with mice and they choose to do nothing about it, wether it's cleaning mice faces off the desks every other day or finding half eaten food, that doesn't seem to be enough for them to do anything about it! 5-Expect to NOT be recognised for doing your job, those who do not fulfill their duties are recognised only for the pure fact that there is favouritism in this company. 6-Be very wary of who you can trust in the offices. Once you speak to one person, the whole office finds out. 7-Top Management do not know how to treat or act appropriate around women which can also be seen as harassment. I am very surprised that no one has filed any claims thus far. 8-Management do absolutely nothing except for have meetings every hour instead of actually helping their team. 9-Management spend Thursday and Friday afternoons in the Pub for hours drinking and then come back to the office drunk trying to make calls to clients. EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL! 10-There is absolutely no proper training and you are just thrown in and expected to have results right away. 11-No HR department, they claim to have one of which involves one person in the office whom is not HR trained so i'm not sure how that one works out! There is far too much to write about for this company which I do not have enough time in the world to do. All I can tell everyone is to stay far away!

Very sorry to hear your experience within the business has been far from positive. We strive to create a positive and supportive environment for all and regret that this appears to not have been the case for you. Good Luck in your future career.

Pros

There were some good consultants who worked in the office when I was there but a lot have gone into bigger and better things. Suggestions that were put forward a couple of years ago are now being actioned - such as the diversification of the business model.

Cons

You can tell by the Glassdoor review site that this company has absolutely no integrity. Papering over reviews of former and current employees who have been treated horrifically. The biggest mistake I made was joining Switch as opposed to a company like McCarthy which looks to have a much better structure and Managing Director. HR policy is disgraceful, senior consultants setting traps for consultants to discuss very sensitive information and then informing directors of a leak. It’s a shame, the business really has lost its way in the market and has no identity. But don’t worry, this will be followed by a 5 star review
