Worst employment I’ve ever had! - Recensione dipendente - Mortgage Consultant presso Sequence

- Micromanagement, constant conference calls, filling out spreadsheets weekly with sales figures even though this can be pulled by management from their system. - Archaic systems, sales negotiators are still forced to use app cards. - Ridiculous targets with unrealistic expectations. - Management on your case everyday about how many appointments you have in your diary and how many you’ve seen and god forbid anyone cancels a mortgage appointment, you are almost chastised for it like it’s your fault. - Conditional selling approaches for buyers to use in house mortgage advisors. - Sales negotiators making 30 appointments a week in the mortgage consultants diary so they could hit their targets and getting their name shouted out in national emails however half of those appointments don’t answer or didn’t even want the appointment in the first place yet were forced to have it. It will be the mortgage consultants fault for not converting the appointments even though half of them were going nowhere in the first place. I had appointments put in my diary by the sales negotiators where one didn’t even have a job and the other asked me when I rang them what a mortgage was! - Even if a buyer had their own mortgage advisor, we were expected to get them to use us. - Belittling and patronising by management on conference calls. - Everyones name on national/regional emails showing everyone how poor your daily/monthly figures could be compared to others. - Management forcing us to tell appointments that we can get them the best deal on the market even though we only had 23 lenders. - Management discussing your salary with another advisor before you’ve even started. - Zero training, yet you will get criticised for not hitting targets but they won’t offer training to help you in areas where you are struggling. - Not honouring terms of contract of employment regarding training which never happened. - Treated like a child and a minion! - When management say on a conference call of a rival mortgage advisor from a local company that he’ll burn his house down all because a buyer was using him to arrange his mortgage and had been using him for years, you realise this horrible company isn’t for you. - Filthy offices with no cleaners, mens toilet in my office had not be cleaned for months! Ironically sticking coronavirus cleanliness notices everywhere including the toilets knowing we had no cleaners!🤔 - A substance leaking from the ceiling pipe down the kitchen wall which looked hazardous for my health forced me to eat my lunch at my desk. - Long hours. - Poor pay. - Working every Saturday. - No work life balance, if you have children, expect to see them in their pyjamas when you leave in the morning and in their pyjamas when you get home in the evening. - Made to feel awful when I asked my manager to go my aunties funeral and I had no holiday left, “well you will have to take it as unpaid leave won’t you” was their response. Honestly go and work in a supermarket stacking shelves unless you will be happy with all the above. A horrible company with narcissistic and abrasive management that have no idea how to manage, lead or set an example!
