Vantaggi

I applied to Metanoia primarily due to the fact that the adverts specifically stated that no experience was necessary. I wanted to get my foot in the door and this seemed like a great first step. Despite some initial hesitation due to reading some of the negative reviews, the interview process was thorough and they were happy to answer any questions I had. There were lots of pros about my experience at Metanoia, including: Travelling to Dubai. The trip was incredible and gave me memories for a lifetime. A very supportive environment - everyone was willing and happy to help. The CEO is very hands on and his door was always open. Transferable skills - Despite walking in the door with zero sales or marketing experience, by the time I left less than 12 months later, I gained some really valuable skills including but not limited to; Maintaining a positive attitude, leadership, negotiation skills and networking. Great people - One of the things I loved most about my time here was the people I met.

Svantaggi

It’s hard work, and some long days which can be challenging. It will definitely push you outside of your comfort zones. Targeted commission - There is a weekly base rate providing you can hit the targets, and to be fair the targets are realistic.

Vantaggi

Decent people good to communicate with lively people If doing door to door sales is your role then you do you..

Svantaggi

When seeing this post as an accounts manager, you would think it’s more office based and supporting existing customers maintaining relationship and other non cold calling based work. But on a real you end us rehearsing lines in a room with 20 people with blasting music which doesn’t help… someone left the organisation due to the culture being too toxically positive… and in reality they’re right. On top of that I never really got told this was a door to door sales there’s not fixed salary, and you end up signing a contract without any context or actual insight to what you’re signing. Furthering to that I was offered an opportunity to go on a ‘business trip’ with work but you end up paying out of pocket rather than company paying which is unfair if it’s classed as a ‘company trip’. And I’ve never received the money back when speaking to the director. Feels like despite working I’ve lost more money working there than I earned I walked away from the company and instantly quit in 2 weeks of working

Vantaggi

Nice boss, very motivating and chatty. No contract, so I just handed in my notice and left after 1 convo w him, thankfully no notice period to see out or anything

Svantaggi

It’s a door to door sales company, you work solely on commission, hours are 9:30am-8pm AND NOBODY TELLS YOU THAT UNTIL YOU HAVE ALREADY STARTED THE JOB. If that’s ok with you, great, but it was not what I was looking for or was led to believe I was getting. Girl who interviewed me promised me the earth in mentoring, support, said she’d greet me on my first day, told me multiple times to ring her once I arrived, ect. Got there my first day, she didn’t answer her phone, someone else said she’d gone on a training weekend down South???? Liar. She also kept avoiding my questions about my contract, said I’d get it on my first day, I got there and was told there was no contract. Liar. LinkedIn photos are skyscrapers and fancy looking offices in MediaCity, so then why is it a ramshackle deserted looking loft above a nightclub in a back alleyway in the City Centre? If it was just up front about what it was that would be ok, nothing wrong with being a small, commissions based, door to door sales company. So why sell themselves as a successful Marketing company with offices all over the world and a £25,000 pay?? Don’t believe the 5* reviews on Google
