Stressful and unstructured
Financial Advisor (Former Employee) - Johannesburg, Gauteng - 3 June 2021
rude managers and no skills to manage people. All they wanted was sales, forced to sing, pray and clap your hands. Being punished and embarrassed Infront of others. harassment was also a factor. No room for growth. The culture is not great and you do not really have a knock off time. Always being threatend to be fired. The environment was very bad. Working there for me was not conducive.
Pros
Work Functions, you develop a tough skin for sales
Cons
No respect, no knock off time, stressful
