Pros
There are quite a few good and loyal members of staff that are good to work with Free training Good office locations
Cons
Constant redundancies. Getting rid of numerous skills coaches and operational staff on an almost weekly basis (pre-covid) Do not care AT ALL about staffs feelings, opinions or wellbeing despite having posters all around their offices claiming this Too much focus on money Treat both apprentices and staff like numbers on a spreadsheet and only care about the monetary value Ignorant, rude and flat out useless HR and senior management teams that never answer direct questions Work their staff to the bone. You are only seen as a good member of staff if you work well above your contracted hours and some managers actually suggest and encourage working above your hours to get work done Blatant favoritism of certain staff that are untouchable despite their incompetency and lack of experience Made HUGE and RASH redundancies in COVID blamed it all on COVID despite them announcing this about 3 weeks into lockdown so clearly planned in advance (400 members of staff) and then advertise for the exact same roles 2 months later High and unmanageable caseloads for Skills Coaches so learner has a poor time on programme and when the learners feed this back the staff are blamed After cuts are made existing staff are expected to do the work of 2 people
