Pros

Great experience all around, good training and promising career. It is difficult, there is no denying it but it is a fact that people earn the figures that are spoken about, but these are only earned by the advisers that put the client first and offer realistic and helpful advice. Advisers that come out to make a quick quid will find them selves out of luck and on the first flight home. Don't take this job if you are afraid of taking a risk/ or expect to be paid a huge salary for doing very little. If you want to be challanged, work hard and earn good money in a different country, then there is absolutely no question. Malta as a graduate was by far the best thing i have done so far, and i have no doubt that my new location will be just as good.

Cons

Tighter recruitment, some awful employees are allowed to location - admittedly they don't last. lack of transparency between job roles, everything can be misconstrued as smoke and mirrors tactics.

Pros

Some colleagues were really nice and easy to work with Could sometimes be a relaxed environment Some benefits such as commission and incentives

Cons

Some people you work with are uneducated, unprofessional and improper (if you do not have a sense of humour this is probably not for you) Lack of HR system, each office has admin staff (basic stuff really) Lack of progression Salary is not great when starting out, potential to earn (so they say, be prepared to be broke for at least 3 - 8 months before seeing any potential earnings, company works on a retainer basis) Lack of community

Thank you for your review. We are disappointed that your experience at deVere Group wasn't a success. Working in financial services isn’t for everyone, but for those who work hard and offer sound financial advice, it can be a very rewarding career. Good luck in your next adventure.

Pros

If you have a strong work ethic and are excited by the opportunity to work abroad, working for Devere is an incredible experience. I did the grad scheme and now work in the NY office. Have recommended to friends and know many more grads joining Devere via the grad programme. Opportunity to earn very good money whilst maintaining good work/life balance. Colleagues are predominantly expats as well which aids to a tight knit office culture which offers support to newcomers. Organisation is ran on a meritocratic basis, if you perform and are good enough you will succeed!

Cons

Can be hard work and and pressurized/stressful job which not everyone can handle, especially being in a different country away from friends and family.
