deVere Group Employee Reviews about "hard work"

Pros

deVere is a proper meritocracy. They share with you all the things you need to know in order to have an incredibly successful career. Training is daily, sometimes multiple times per day. It is expected that you will obtain meaningful qualifications. There is unlimited earnings potential once qualified and you'll be living in a great city. In Milan there is a structured development programme which will see you move from assisting a consultant to a remote-servicing consultant with a bank of clients to face-to-face consultant over around three years. The current expectation is to develop all consultants internally.

Cons

Be under no illusion that this is a get rich quick programme. It is not. Success is dependent on hard work and lots of it, persistence and time. This is not a nine-to-five job, but a professional career. There is a salary for assistants (with a share of business earnings), but ultimately your income is up to you; your hard work; your skill and your willingness to apply what you've learned. You might choose to work outside of your home country, so you'll be working with great people, but you'll be away from your family and social circle. This isn't for everyone.

Pros

Great training from top training managers from around the globe Work with the top financial institutions learn consultancy skills, networking, business development and a lot of product knowledge about the industry as well.

Cons

It is long hours and hard work - but I don't know why people wouldn't expect this from a career as that is how you get and reach success.

Pros

As a young professional, deVere Group gave me access to first-class training and endless support from senior team members. Adrian Rowles, both as a person and Area Manager, constantly guides and helps me to enhance my professional skills. There is unlimited earning potential that only rely on how much effort you put into your daily work. Since day one, I felt supported, valued and part of a great team of driven individuals!

Cons

Hard work is required (not a cons if you want to achieve great results!)

Pros

I am a new starter to deVere Acuma and the support i have recieved has been second to none. Not only from management but also from my collegues as everyone wants you to do well in the company. You get out what you put in, so if you are willing to put in hard work then you certainly get rewarded for it here!

Cons

Long hours but very managable

Pros

- Huge amount of training - Personal development - Opportunities for career progression - unlimited earning capacity. In my 2nd year of working for the company, I earnt more than the previous 2 years of my career combined... I'm 24 years old.

Cons

- hard work (only a con for some people)

Pros

- Best training in the industry - Potential to earn as much as you want - Options to work in 60 countries around the world - All roads lead back to you, you put in the graft you will get the reward

Cons

If you put in the hard work there is none.

Pros

Even though the role wasn’t quite right for me - I would recommend DeVere Spain as a place to work. Excellent training and support from office colleagues, also a friendly team which is always important!

Cons

I didn’t find any disadvantages working here. Hard work but great opportunity.

Pros

Fantastic company with a clearly defined career path. With hard work and determination you can get right to the very top. I recently left deVere Group but loved every minute of my time there. Had top class mentors throughout my journey from coming in as a trainee right to working up to an advisor. It is a fantastic opportunity which changed my life but ONLY if you are willing to work your socks off for it.

Cons

Extremely challenging. If you are scared of hard work then this is not the role for you.

Pros

I started in the middle of a pandemic and have had the most amazing experience in the London office, having had no background in FS prior to this I can confidently say I will never look back! I am lucky enough to work for James Green who is the most fantastic leader. He displays integrity and emotional intelligence while leading from the front and encouraging good ethics and hard work across the board, which is inspiring for all at every level in the business. There may be some mixed reviews online on the business, and to each their own, but what I can say for sure is that this company has given me the opportunity to grow and succeed in the ways I deserve based on the effort I am willing to put in, and what I see across all offices is that hard work and dedication is recognised and rewarded, and to achieve success in this business you need to really want to put the time into learning and developing your skills and being consistent in your efforts. I cannot speak any more highly of the business and am very grateful to be a part of it, if you are looking for a unique opportunity that does not weigh heavily on the background or education you have, but more the personality, drive and determination you are willing to bring to the table then look no further than deVere!

Cons

I have none to note.

Pros

Awesome Training Academy - I went to Dubai which massively took me away from comfort zone, built the initial good habits I needed and learned an amazing amount of information in a short space of time Choice of location Retainer's whilst not huge help out in the early weeks/months. Solid £30k - £40k earning potential year 1 which considering the qualifications and training also undergoing is justified reward Great learning 1-1 no made up classroom based learning this is learning the industry first hand A training program that whilst based around a defined start and end point reflected my skills to ensure it was always ME that was progressing

Cons

Not really a Con but the role requires 100% hard work and commitment. This is not for the feint hearted as sure most other reviews attest. Unless willing to commit 100% during and indeed outside of working hours this is the wrong industry and role. A typical day is 10-12 hours in length and I am truly exhausted at the end of it but the knowledge learned in the early days and the knowledge I have now certainly all worth the effort
