Vantaggi
I am now roughly 2 years and 2 months in to my journey at Navartis. I wanted to come on here to write an honest reflection of my time here for anyone thinking about joining us or recruitment in general. My main pro's across my time are: -Increased finances. This is a big one for me as it's the reason I get out of bed in the morning! climbing the career chart has resulted in multiple increases in basic salary and more consistent deals has resulted in more commission for me on a regular basis. This has allowed me to get in to a car I am very proud of and set out to get prior to starting. -I've enjoyed building relationships/friendships with my colleagues and we regularly socialise outside of work which is a big plus for me. -In the Solihull office we have an incentive to finish at 12:30 on a Friday which is always a nice end to the week when you hit the relevant target to achieve it. We also have end of quarter do's that are always good fun. I'm looking forward to the upcoming one at Warwick races where we are getting a stretched huma limo from the office to our private box there. -Another big one for me is the fact I don't get the 'Sunday night fear' that many of my friends get and genuinely enjoy coming in to work.
Svantaggi
As with any job, there is bound to be cons. I've tried to summarise my main ones below: -No working from home for junior staff. This is something to consider when picking whether you want to join Navartis. I do however believe when you are new to a job it is important to be around people that have done it for longer than you and coming into the office puts you in the best positions to learn. -Canvas hour. In my team we spend an hour every morning doing calls only. This was very daunting for me when I started and something I used to dread. Having stuck it out now it has all but eliminated my fear of cold calling. -Highs and lows. It sounds cliche but I have experienced real highs and lows in this role, sometimes in the same day. It's important to keep as level as possible, which isn't always easy!
