Pros

Cons
Wouldn't give me any tools, had to borrow other people's or use the ones I had which were inadequate. A list was made for me and others to get new tools which was handed to the manager who ordered tools for everyone except me. When I asked about getting some tools I was told that they couldn't get me any and some vague excuse. If I made a mistake I was notified but never allowed to do that task again Was supposed to have regular performance reviews but only had one in the 6 months I was there. The training provider for the apprenticeship went bust and no one knew what was going on When I was dismissed the manager held me back on a Friday and waited till everyone had left and told me not to come in on Monday as my contract was being terminated, when asked why I was told I was too slow, even though he kept telling me there was no rush to finish anything. I was given no notice at the time but one was sent in the post a month later saying I had been dismissed because of my attitude and performance, no detail about my attitude or performance was mentioned unfortunately. I later found out through contacting the apprenticeship service that I had been dismissed because the training provider went bust, which ment the company could no longer afford to keep me, so I had in fact been lied to about the reason I was dismissed
