The whole experience is shocking! Even the little good things fade away next to the negative points. Unfortunately, there is a lot of negative points to share!
This company likes bullying their staff, that's how their managements style is. It's so sad to see young people so passionate and inexperienced falling for branded mini and champagne bottles and occasionally hide their tears from their families ! And I am not just talking about girls, but also boys become the victims of this company!
There is absolutely no human right or justice in there and some one should do something about it!
I watched some of the top negotiators leave one by one because they couldn't take it anymore !
I never experienced or witnessed anything like this before, not even at school. I was always loved and been rewarded for my skills in school by my teachers.
Coming from a psychology background, I immediately noticed some odd behaviours and unusual personalities.
After just a few months, some one who got promoted as my valuer, too young and inexperienced with a lot of ego in my office started bullying myself and some one very dear to me for a very long time. When I reported this issue, things only got worse for me and didn't change anything . At the end I just decided to celebrate the Christmas party with the people who were normal and likeable before I leave and ignored the rest. I kept my head up and smiled at the abusers, showing my invisible 👑 crown ! This type of people fail when they see you happy and successful.. so smile is the best slap in the face! 👸🏼😊👑💃🏻
It felt so good leaving this company and to see the light again! From the office to the car I felt like I was out of a prison.
When you work with them, they keep telling you they are the best in the industry and that you can make more money with them than other companies! it's not true!
Very materialistic people can survive this place longer than I could and they also overvalue properties, but put pressure on their negotiators to sell their stock!
Since I have left, I met so many better people and companies than Foxtons.
One very funny thing side to it:
The guy that bullied me ended up being my buyer later when I joined another agency! Secretly I wish to see him locked in a proprty so he can never get out !;) 🤣Lol. He is now my every day joke, but there was no laughter when I was working with him. I am stronger than him and Foxtons was not good enough for me.
Do you want to know more?
4 of us negotiators left (3 from my office) around same time because we just had enough of those attitudes!.. 7 left from the first days I started.. and ofcourse there is more to tell .. one of their negotiator in my first few months accused me for stealing her blazer which was probably only worth £10! lol 😂
I don't think I blame her now, knowing that she was probably just under a lot of stress and pressure too. They seem to like to shape and form you into little evils and her jealousy and immaturity made her vunrebale to it! .. there is still a lot more to tell... and more ... 🤢 .. oh yes a lot more! so just hear it from me and do yourself a favour - Do Not Go There!
The whole experience I had in Foxtons was shocking!!!! And do I want to keep it to myself - absolutely not !!! Every truth always comes out on the surface.
They are fake to public and behind closed doors nothing but shocking personalities! I don't even blame their staff for occasional bad behaviours , I blame the company for putting so much pressure and torturing their staff which turns them into little evils and poppets with wrong behaviours. This is not good because it can later develop mental health issues!
Relationships end in this company!
The income is low for the hours you put into, below the average rate per hour. The contract says 48 but they actually make you work 67 hours! And they never appreciate you even if you are their best negotiator!!
Staff argue with each other over stupid things, because they are too tired to think healthy and positive!
I managed to put up with it longer than I thought I could, but I wish I never went there to begin with.
I am very happy now and enjoying life again, but my one year experience at Foxtons was hell.
