Vantaggi
• Earning potential: Strong billing performance can lead to good money. • Limitations: There may be greater earning opportunities elsewhere. • Milestones: Hitting targets brings pay rises and higher commission. • Trade-off: Each milestone adds pressure and stress to reach the next level.
Svantaggi
• Working hours: Officially 8–5, but leaving at 5pm was frowned upon. • Flexibility: Minimal opportunity to work from home and virtually no flexibility. • Annual leave: Requests were often met with suspicion, as if you were interviewing elsewhere. • Contracts: I witnessed people being forced to sign agreements stating that if they hadn’t billed a set amount by a deadline, they would have to resign. • Culture: It will build character, resilience, and teach you how to bite your tongue. • Reality check: At the same time, if you’re looking for a fast track to burnout or a breakdown, this environment will deliver.
