Thank you for sharing your comments. We feel training plays a key role in helping our people grow and it is one of our strengths, which is why we have a Training and Development Manager who has been with our company for over 13 years. She is REC qualified and delivers professional training plans and workshops. Our HR manager is also highly capable and we are sorry you were not introduced. We work hard to ensure every member of staff feels welcome and the directors and managers try to ensure that everyone feels as though they are important members of the team. We are sorry you felt this wasn’t your experience. Our industry is one of performance and it is this that we are judged on by our customers. We take the level of our performance very seriously and when there are deadlines to meet there may be pressure and focus from managers to ensure we deliver the results our clients and candidates expect from our business.

Pros

Staff culture friendly Good training, thrown in the deep end type of culture where you learn fast Work hard attitude Free fruit

Cons

-Basically paying below the legal minimum wage (24k to start) - No work from home, so you are made to spend most of your low income on travel 5 days a week -Management are selfish, and stuck in their own ways (old school culture) -No sick pay, so if you are unwell, youd have to come in, to get paid or you have to come in until 1PM to get paid if youre ill -Not much support from management when your struggling and ask for help, if you say youre struggling for money, they just dont care -Staff have a high retention (always new staff coming in and staff getting fired of leaving) -Annual leave isnt great -The company only hire 17 year olds to make sure they can pay them small income (management are very stingy with their money) - Bitchiness from management, slagging off other agencies, blackmailing you to stay if you want to leave. Im writing this to help new staff or people that are thinking to start actually know what the company is like.
