Pros
Money, but you can find that elsewhere.
Cons
Don't listen to the previous few reviews clearly written by their Managing Director. Anything that continuously says "nothing!" under advice to management is obviously fake. This company will start you on an 18k salary and despite what it says on the contract they will force you to work from 7:30am to 7pm - the commission structure is solid but that is standard across recruitment as a whole so it's nothing to shout about at all. Slaving away 12 hours a day doing mindless work for a pair of "Directors" is no way to spend your early 20's. There is no focus on development or growth and I genuinely believe that this place is detrimental to the mental health and well being of it's employees. One of the Managing Directors takes himself so seriously that newbies are expected to bring him coffee as soon as his mug is slammed on the table and all employees are expected to look as though they're about to walk into a FTSE 100 board meeting - despite the fact that face-to-face client contact is non-existent and you're sat behind a phone all day. It is truly the most archaic environments that I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing and in an age of opportunity, connectivity and progression it saddens me that this "we've always done it this way, so this is how we'll do it" attitude remains. This is by no means an exaggeration, I simply just don't want people to make the same mistake as I did by working for Mackenzie Stuart - even if you're just looking to make quick cash after uni. There are plenty more fulfilling opportunities out there that don't involve losing your best years to a pair of jumped up man-children who might actually believe that they're the only 30 somethings in the world with a Rolex and a BMW.
