Pros

The pension scheme is reasonable

Cons

Management Career progression Work/ life balance Employed as the Technical Manager of Hafren Theatre, Newtown Campus, NPTC Group. This company should be avoided at all costs as there is a complete lack of organisation, a feeble attempt by management to micro-manage a business they know absolutely nothing about logistically. The Theatre is managed in the same way as a local village hall, of which management have a total disrespect for employees, accompanying policies, procedures and legal obligations. It is heavily reliant on the support and direction of local community members who have nothing to do with NPTC Group, perhaps more significantly it should be noted that the ‘community members’ are friends and business acquaintances of Hafren Theatre Management. Hours are undefined and can often change depending on wind direction, resulting in a last minute event, performance etc can change in respect to date, time and duration. Incompetent organisational abilities and Failure in communication is often the result of the shortfalls of this company. You will be used as a scapegoat to avoid any repercussions that illustrate the failings and neglect of responsibilities by Management and executive board. The company will go to every effort to avoid their responsibilities rather than accept their failures and correct the REAL problems and issues, as evidenced by other reviews have always been apparent.

Pros

The pros were minimal. The people I worked with day to day at Newtown campus were lovely people and the students I taught were tough but I made a real difference to them.

Cons

The management were appalling. They were incredibly unsupportive and senior management facing and didn’t care at all about their staff. I was bullied, expected to cover multiple classes at once and when I eventually left they underpaid me by £2000. Their pay rates are ridiculous and they make savings on you by taking a 15 minute ‘break’ away from you in every 3 hour block. To say NPTC are corrupt and taking advantage of all their staff is an understatement. If you are looking to work for them, do not bother. They are by far the worst employers I have ever worked for.
