Minpunten
Family run organization with son as Managing Director and Sister head of Customer service. Any competent owner would have removed both of them a long time ago with people who actually care that they are running a real company. It clearly feels like a boiler room operation that is only there to line the pockets of the limited partners and not really give the customers any real value for their investment. I was lied to in writing by one of the senior managers how much I was expected to make within a given period of time. I met my sales numbers and then just got an excuse why my commission needed to be cut. Employee happiness is the last thing on the company's mind. After being hired expect your commission to be changed for the worse after a few months of being hired. It happened every year that I was there. I know a number of people that work in the industry and the compensation is much better at other places. Yearly turnover of employees is somewhere in the range of 3 to 1. Unheard of with any company. Job is only good for those living at home with their parents with not a care in the world. If you have your own apartment, live with a roommate or have any sort of major financial responsibilities DO NOT EVEN think of working here. The amount of hours you have to work in order to be decently compensated you might as well work at an hourly wage job.
