Pros

Flights & accommodation paid for for the initial trip to Malta for training

Cons

What you're told you'll do isn't a very true representative AT ALL as to what you'll ACTUALLY do. The salary you'll earn is very cloudy and you won't really get a straight answer when you ask. The majority of your time there will be spent cold-calling. If you enjoy that then great, but do not be fooled into thinking that you're actually going into a financial role. You are going to be a sales person!! In conclusion, you will really get far in the company if you don't mind being a scammer :)

Pros

Intense working environment Flights reimbursed

Cons

Anyone with a conscience thinking of applying for any form of employment with deVere should think otherwise. The company is run by unprofessional, disrespectful con's that do not value staff, only regard them as numbers. Excessive swearing, unrealistic targets and general aggressive attitude by senior staff is normal. Job descriptions are not accurate with selective wording of 'potential' benefits without any consideration of the restrictions. One example includes many locations having requirements such as specific ages or licensing restrictions meaning only a selected few are actually available out of the ones advertised. Further, each employee would be sent out on a tourist visa, not working visa. Secondly, earning potential is unrealistic and given a location that living expenses are high, wages would not be sufficient for covering the cost of rent and living. Thirdly, there is no work life balance. If you don't work 14/15 hour days, including weekends then you fall behind. My time with deVere ended being publicly humiliated for simply mishearing a time and shouted at by a senior member of staff like a school child. All members of staff that have progressed to another level are unhelpful, unfriendly and rude to new staff. It is based as a hierarchy and without 'getting in there' with various members of staff to share their secrets of gaining data it is easy to become isolated and fall behind. Overall, I would not recommend this job to anyone, of any age - especially those looking for a career internationally or to grow within financial services as you will be sat on LinkedIn each day cold calling individuals not interested in dealing with a company with such a bad reputation.

Pros

No pros - This is a SCAM

Cons

They sell you a dream - send fake contracts and offer letters that are signed by the director - the webinar you watch is pre recorded - they run the 6 week training courses all year round and use them to lead generate for the permanent members of staff - data mining - cold calls - they make you feel like if you don't like it that YOU have failed this is not the case - staff turnover average of 3 months - terrible how they have gotten away with it for so long
