Pros
erm....there's some lovely staff working really hard.
Cons
This organisation has built a reputation for poor credit, poor leadership, loads of unpaid bills, financial dishonesty and a complete disregard for its staff, parents and big name partners. They push the word 'team' but in reality only look after the people on the board and some of those are only there by staying with the company long enough. They now exist in well paid jobs knowing full well they would not be paid the same anywhere else, hanging on for as long as they can, thinking people cannot see them for what they are. Employees have had their pension contributions taken, including employee contributions and they only acted when the 'team' raised it as an issue. Wages are paid late, creating stress and uncertainty each month -will or wont you be paid and what day will it be? Raise an issue and you will be out of the door, keep your head down and you'll be ok - if HR like you that is, The so-called "People Team" (HR) is nothing short of rude, and completely disconnected. Think old school HR. They lack empathy, understanding and ironically, people skills. Raise an issue, your card will be well and truly marked. Be assured however, HR will protect the management board at all costs. No employee assistance programme no perks - they can't afford to look after their staff. Great things really don't start here - unless you are a favourite on the board of course. The credit rating of this company is abysmal for a reason. Both large and small businesses are left unpaid, parents who request refunds are ignored, college rents and providers for past programmes remain unpaid even years later. Colleges run with unpaid bills and low student numbers until another crazy idea is thought of and another college opens somewhere in the world! Lots of overseas trips for the board, Lots of crazy, frivolous ideas, lots of unpaid bills, lots of false social media posts, lots of unhappy staff with crazy, unachievable sales targets. The turnover rate speaks for itself: if they don't like you, you'll be gone, speak out and you'll be gone and anyone with standards gets out after their soul has died believing they can be the one to make a difference.
