Pros

One of those jobs that you'll either love or hate. Honestly, it may just not be for you. I came out seeking a technical role but the reality this is a sales role, at least until you become more qualified and advance in the rankings. Coming from a finance background it was a bit of a shock, however you are trained technically for the first week and your CISI qualification will help you develop in that aspect. - Location - Malta for 6 weeks - CEO interaction - gave us multiple talks daily and spoke to us individually, not many CEOs would do that - Pay for your CISI Level 1 qualification - Accommodation provided for throughout, transport for first week - Great people, and management care - The more work you put in the more you'll get out, self-development wise and results wise - Opportunity/choice to work in most of the 71 offices provided you do well during the training

Cons

- Sales = Cold Calling, although once you build up your client base through this method post-training you'll be managing your current client base (from what I've heard) - Long hours - if you're not driven and self-motivated don't bother, you're effectively self-employed once you're in the field. Need to be committed - Salary structure and pay

Pros

DeVere provided a challenging and competitive work environment, on the six week programme there developed a feel that was closely akin to that of university halls with a constant buzz amongst the grads. The work itself was long and hard but provided a feeling of reward when success was achieved. Generally the management was supportive with one notable exception.

Cons

The workload was very heavy and did involve going away from home and family, if a person does not feel as though they can cope with this then the job is not for them. Malta is also very hot and travel to and from work during my programme was cumbersome since it took place in the summer and a suit was a requirement.

Pros

Very challenging but also very rewarding. Not for everybody but if its for you, you'll thrive.

Cons

You are left on your own for most of the time. More feedback on progress would be better.
