Pros

I have spent many years with deVere Group and have learned more than I ever expected. I'm proud to say I love my job and the company that I work for. Great opportunities are available to everyone and the products and infrastructure are second to none. I have seen this company change massively for the better over the years and I'm sure it will continue to do so.

Cons

Some people join the company expecting it to be easy. It's not! You will only get out what you put in. Hard work is necessary. One problem I see is that staff are encouraged to be a 'jack of all trades' with their clients. Specialising in a certain area is discouraged in favour of maximising client transactions.

Pros

Milan is a beautiful city Easy travel with underground called the Metro Perfect coffee all around the office as you would expect from Italians Quite multicultural CEO Nigel eloquent enticer to the position but the risk is yours not his

Cons

They do not tell you that you will be self employed until you get to destination and so you will be paying for an accountant £600 No leads given to you what so ever You WILL be cold calling Some commissions can take months or years to get e.g. complicated QROPS No guarantee of a coordinator to work for you Treating you like an employee when you are self employed Housing costs are just under £1000 for a 1 bed with bills (you need to fork out 3 months deposit then 3 months in advance) total cost £6000 Flights around £300 By the time you have invested in Malta by paying for flight and extra 2 days accommodation and food the total bill between that and Italy will set you back £12,500 before you earn anything if indeed you ever do earn anything

Thank you for your feedback, 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

I have been successfully working with DeVere Group now for over 2 years and I'm part of the graduate programme. The whole experience has impressed me from the start. The training has been brilliant, on a regular basis you receive training from experienced professionals. The CEO Nigel Green personally visits the office and delivers valuable insights into the industry and inspiring personal experiences. The role is demanding however as long as you are prepared to put the work in the rewards make it all worthwhile. I would recommend this role for any graduate that is determined to be successful!

Cons

To be successful in this role you have to be committed and prepared to work hard. A positive mental attitude is essential as the role is demanding, however the rewards over compensate for the effort required!
