Pros

Good local team members, half decent salary

Cons

Where do I start; - Everything isn’t what it seems from the outside, lots of covering up, fantastic marketing department always ready to cover the cracks (perhaps that’s why Ofsted have announced their inspection incomplete) - Local management, don’t manage they dictate and threat and push their staff to breaking point or out the door -Unprofessional staff reviews -One Manager tells you one thing and another will tell you the complete opposite, lack of direction and communication -Selective of their apprentices in terms of prior achievements so they don’t have to put their apprentices through functional skills as they have no staff to support functional skills -They place apprentices onto programmes that are not even developed yet - setting apprentices up to fail -The company has grown so quickly, I feel they have lost all there values in the excitement of it all, and let over-payed “local managers” destroy teams and cause the company to have an overwhelming amount of staff turnover -You are just a number on a excel spreadsheet, unless you are jumping around, writing devotional LinkedIn 3aaa posts and consistently trying to rub shoulders with the SMT - which many do, it’s rather amusing. I could go on but I won’t. I’m sure it will all come out, there is only so many times you can paint over the same cracks.

Pros

The company had achieved Ofsted Grade 1 status.

Cons

No training given on course programs upon joining. At interview stage, led to believe that more core programs would be available from the academy however it was limited to just 2 programs - essentially restricting the opportunity to find work placements for apprentices. There was no clear communication regarding GDPR policy on the run up to May 2018 which led to a great deal of uncertainity. Incompetence of HR staff to check the basics of new starters to the company . Having to submit monthly expense claims for any commissions earnt with the company. Constant changing of tutors (most resigned) and the lack of delivery schedules that could be provided to new apprentices joining the programs. General attitude of management was not to look at more effective ways of working - just continue with systems that were clearly inadequate.
