Pros
Hard working, undervalued staff. You get paid albeit below the average for the sector.
Cons
I can only echo what has already been said. This company should NEVER EVER be allowed to trade as a training provider, their sole purpose in life is to squeeze as much money as possible out of the unemployed and vulnerable by forcing them onto inappropriate courses. OFSTED would close them in a heartbeat if they were inspected outright. Unfortunately, as a sub contractor they always get plenty of notice to prepare for audits and visits. This means that files are doctored by a team of managers prior to sub mission !!! Centres are greatly under resourced, run down and filthy, equipment is totally outdated and often breaks down. Tutors are expected to perform the role of teacher, sales person, admin, receptionist, cleaner. You name it, they are expected to do it as well as keep their marking up to date with no support from management whatsoever. Doesn't matter that you may have a room full of learners to look after, if management say you have to drop everything and make job outcome calls or fill in another pointless spreadsheet then that's what you are expected to do Regardless. Learners are secondary here !!! No progression routes whatsoever, in fact I would say coming here is career regression as you are expected to do everything including scrub the toilets. family members are promoted to senior positions with little no or no knowledge and experience at all. Avoid at all costs, you have been warned.
