Pros

I have been with the college almost 20 years and I honestly couldn't imagine working anywhere else. Yes, we have had our problems, usually around the reduction of Government funding, and as a result of that, recruitment. But there are many first class, dedicated, knowledgeable staff members who's only focus is the success of their learners and the student experience. We have a fantastic student cohort, where all want to learn and be successful in their chosen career subjects. I personally feel being part of that and helping these young people achieve their goals is a gift and I look back on my years with WCG with many happy memories of students I've taught, peers I've laughed with and learnt from and the many additional skills I have gained over the years. We all know, you never forget that one person/teacher that inspired you, so what an amazing thing to be that person. We live in a time where its all too easy to jump on social media a slate companies for mistakes that were either out of their control or largely our own doing. WCG is still a great place to work and indeed to learn. Long may it rain as a first class education provider.

Cons

As with all Further Education providers, the key issue is the reduction of Government funding. Additional investment will result in a stronger young workforce and an improved economy.

Pros

What pulled me back to WCG was Jim Weiss, the founder and CEO of W2O Group (WCG, a W20 Group company) whom over the last 14 years has developed a culture based on the same core values that I live by everyday, professionally. Jim is authentic. His approach is transparent. The result is an award-winning set of companies with jaw-dropping talent, who make an impact in the healthcare, technology and consumer global brands’ industries everyday. As Jim says, “ultimately, we are in the business to partner with our clients to enhance their businesses.” I’d even take that a step further and say that we don’t just enhance businesses, we enhance lives -- the result is growth -- personal and professional, inside and out. I’m happy to get to work with such amazing people so that we can enhance our clients’ businesses, enhance their lives, our lives, our world.

Cons

Because I have children, I have to drive and parking is a challenge/costly. The benefits do offset this one con. If you're coming from the city or the South Bay, there's plenty of transportation options.

Pros

I can confidently say that in just two months I've gained more skills and knowledge than I did in my last year of college. Everyone on the analytics team is smart, capable, and ready to answer any question you have. You can tell that WCG invests heavily in their intern program. The time and care they put into training us and fostering leadership opportunities goes unmatched by any other job I've had. Overall it's been a wonderful experience and I feel lucky to work with such a smart and skilled team.

Cons

Can't really think of any, except that they always run out of fresh fruit.
