Pros

You will appreciate your next employer a lot more. They have a lot of ‘no shows’ for interviews with them so you’ll be offered a job really easily Some of the staff are nice

Cons

Appalling training – different departments leave it to each other to do the training then all assume you know everything. Very little induction structure, it was very all over the place. I would be willing to forgive this (with them being such a small business) if it was not for the Manager deciding to tactically trip me up just hours before a meeting they had set to fire me on performance grounds. Clearly she was having second thoughts (as I had only been there for about 6 weeks) that it was a hasty decision. But, she asked me if I had tested some software (Which she knew I didn’t know how to test properly) I said ‘yes’ which I had done. (incorrectly of course because of the appalling training). She conveniently took this as an opportunity to throw ‘Conduct issues’ due to dishonesty into the dismissal. I couldn’t defend myself in the meeting at the time because I had no notice of the allegations and due to my anxiety from being told I was getting fired… They went on to tell me they will not be recommending me in a reference! Worst experience of my professional life! Happy ending for me though (having an excellent CV from prior achievements) I got another job very quickly which had adequate training and a common sense management. Mysteriously I reverted back to the achiever I was before Linetime... and was even promoted within 5 months!…

As always there are two sides to every story. The individual came to us from a client having used our system for several years. We invested a lot of time in this individual and gave them as much support as they needed. However, we felt that sufficient progress had not been made in the 6 weeks they were with us and, after several one to ones, made the difficult decision that it would be in the best interest of both parties to terminate their employment. We are glad to hear they have found something else.
