Pros

Really nice company car. Company uses perkbox. Frequent incentives and awards for good performance.

Cons

As much as they say otherwise, powerforce really see their field team members as numbers rather than individuals. All they care about is the numbers you get and targets. Most management never come out in the field to see what the ground work is like and then expect miracles from you. They treat every area the same whereas selling into central London for example would be a lot different to somewhere in the countryside. Too much admin/planning and no extra time given to do it so it's done out of hours with no extra pay. When their clients say 'jump' powerforce will say 'how high' even if it is the most unrealistic request ever and the field team are the ones running around doing pointless stuff along with their day job. No real way to progress.

Thank you for leaving a review. We're sorry to hear that you have had a negative experience with us. While a lot of our senior management's day to day responsibilities make it difficult for them to accompany people out in the field, a large majority of them started their careers in the field team and so they understand issues our field reps face. We do appreciate that when we work to exceed clients' expectations it can cascade extra work down to the field team, which we try to recognise with the incentives and awards you mentioned in your review. We appreciate you highlighting your concerns and will have a serious look at our processes and work to make improvements and changes where we are able.
