Lack of communication

Venue Sales Generator (Former Employee) - Plymouth, Devon - 15 November 2022

Just a quick heads up about people going straight from unemployed to working for Safestyle. You have to pay for your fuel for a whole month which is quite a chunk of cash. Plus the fuel to Wolverhampton to do your initial training. This is reimbursed on the 17th of the month. So if you start on or after this date it's a long time. You will require at least £600 to cover your fuel costs alone. This is not highlighted during the interview process or at training. Never thought I'd be standing in a supermarket entrance trying to flag people down either. This is a soul destroying approach to Sales unless you are thick skinned or don't mind this kind of work.

A little cliquey

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Plymouth, Devon - 17 December 2021

A lot of waiting for a lead call. Good training with visits to HO and manufacturing plant.Local management was a bit cliquey and immature. The hardest part of the job was being ordered to apply hard-sell tactics in inappropriate scenarios. The best parts were self-employment, variety, good earnings.

Pros

Good earnings. One-to-one with the public. Reasonably local area.

Cons

Too much waiting by the phone for a lead call, leads not always of good quality so some wasted travel at your own expense.

Drug addicts and corruption

Do not work here if you have any degree of self respect! Leads are stoken from you and seniors earn more from your hard work than you do! Avoid at all costs

Great place and excellent management.

Surrogate door-to-door Canvasser/Driver (Current Employee) - Plymouth - 4 June 2016

Safestyle is an excellent place to work, especially if you are young and are looking for that first step in to work. I will usually start work about 10am and finish about 7pm. During this time we are out in the fresh air, trying to create interest in new windows and doors on the doorstep, which will hopefully lead to booking an appointment. There is great support and motivation offered by management. Sometimes you will receive rejection on the door and that can be difficult to overcome, but for those that work hard and get results, then there is an excellent bonus scheme in place.
