Awful company do not waste your time - Anonymous employee Currency Solutions Employee Review

Thank you for your feedback it all helps to build a better company for everyone involved so despite it being rather negative, I prefer someone providing a review whether its good or bad. We do explain to all candidates interested in joining that this is one of the most competitive industries out there and it takes a lot of hard graft to be successful. As for training, this is not unpaid. Phones are down at 5pm and you get at least 1 hours training per day on the area you are struggling with, the office is shut at 6pm so there is no possibility of you being trained outside of office hours. I have to say, I believe you have judged both us and the industry before really giving it a go. There is only 1 candidate who left us in the last 6 months so I know you were only here for 1 and a half weeks and did not stay around long enough to actually progress through the training or even for your training to actually start. I can't stress more before anyone starts just how difficult the industry and the work can be. All brokers trade their own customers, however as you have highlighted they are not legally able to sell or advise on options unless you have CF30, so it was never a possibility for you to trade on options, you would have course understood this if you stuck it out and attended the training. In terms of commissions - obviously this is based on actually on boarding customers, obviously you are not going to make commission if you do just 1/3 of the work everyone else is doing. Unfortunately it sounds like you have had a terrible opinion of us and the markets because you never applied yourself or committed to the hard work we discussed at your interview. In terms of the ld reception from your team leader and the team, it is very difficult to open up and build a relationship with someone who did not want to be here from day 1, so I would imagine if you want a warmer reception in your next company, then it might be best to make more of an effort with your new coworkers, and stick around for longer than a couple of weeks and not give up before you even came up to the first hurdle. I hope if you take anything away from this its that your views will be very different to almost everyone else who works here because you didn't try from day 1. A company can only be as good as you make it, if you put no effort in people around you why would you expect them to make the effort with you? I hope whatever it is you want to achieve in your career, you get every success out of it, and if you want a more in depth conversation on the things you will need to change moving forward, please dont hesitate to give us a call.
