Pros

At first it is an inspiring workplace and you feel energised. However, that quickly changes when you see what is really motivating the CEO/Owner.

Cons

You are expected to work long hours without any additional benefits such as time off in lieu, overtime or even a swings and round abouts system of taking time off here or there when needed without having to claim leave. The thing that bothered me the most was signing up students who weren't suited and using NLP and other sales tactics to get them over the line. That I found to be morally and ethically corrupt. I also note allot of these reviews that are super positive are written in chunks by different people either on, or around the same date. I feel this is clearly staff being asked to do reviews to bump up their rating on this website. What current staff member that is being asked to write a review would say anything negative? Read these reviews with caution, the CEO is known to check out these sites and will enlist people to improve the ratings scores they're given by stacking with positive reviews.

Pros

At first you feel very empowered and that you are part of a company that really believes in improving peoples lives. However, that quickly changes and you see that money and power are the core values.

Cons

- Expected to work above and beyond what is reasonably expected - Shady sales tactics to sign students up, even when they are identified as being unsuitable - Programs are over sold and students that don't do well are told it's their fault and that they didn't do enough to be a success (code for you didn't spend more $$ on other programs) - The CEO and owner of TCI is two faced, the public see an inspirational self made women, but underneath she wants nothing more than your money and praise - They lost their RTO accreditation so they made up their own certifying body, seriously who else does the international coaching guild certify other than TCI students and TCI? The government body walked away from them because the courses do not meet their standards. They used to, but not now because the owner looks to make as much money with as little effort as possible.

Pros

Some of the people are nice

Cons

CEO is a bully and a horrible person to work for They are deceitful con people out of their hard-earned money Courses are not all they are cracked up to be - they are not even recognised by a true governing body (the ICG was created by them when accrediting boards decided they no longer wanted to be affiliated with TCI) They are manipulative and unethical
