I would just like to say that I worked for Foxtons for nearly 3 years, and yes it is a very challenging environment, but if you are prepared to work, then you will get rewarded both in career progression and financially. But it is those people that feel that they can just do the bare minimum and get by are those that are soon identified, so if you cannot do a hard days work then forget applying!
I personally wouldn't work for them again, but what people need to realise is that whether you like it or not, Foxtons is an unrivalled business machine in the environment and the skills that you acquire both professionally and personally are most certainly transferrable in any other working environment and for that I am grateful.
For the muppet who said he wouldn't get out of bed for 22k, a car, phone, and laptop, I think they are above their station! Either they like making comments on forums that they have no knowledge of or they feel that they can get what they want handed to them on a plate! I ask, would you get out of bed for 6K a months after Tax? Because with hard work, and ultimately some luck you can achieve that: if not you are more of a Knob that I thought, and good luck to you!
Anyway, I think they are like marmite, you either like them or hate them, but to comment on the everyday workings in the company as an employee, with out actually working for them, those people need to get back in their box; because if you really want to work in the industry, you're not going to get a more recognised stepping stone than Foxtons...
To all you lot that speculate
