Pros

The aims of the company is amazing, improving education for children is at the forefront of all employees priorities. Flexible opportunities for some. Remote working. Amazing annual leave offering and sick pay provided.

Cons

The company is incredibly divided internally, people are discriminated by senior management and struck down with words as opposed to providing sufficient support and training. Complete remote working isolated staff and no support given to those that did not want to work entirely remotely. Expect to be bullied by middle/senior management if you make even the slightest error, it is made very clear that grudges will be held. The pay is way below other industry standards, managers will hold staff back to save money on promotions as it is easier to lose people and repeat recruitment. Exceptionally long notice periods for people of low grade roles. Hypocritical internal company ethos, promoting diversity, sustainability and equality when this is not put into practice internally. HR will not help if you are put in an upsetting or uncomfortable situation, people are pushed out of the company. Too much money invested into outdated marketing. The company promotes flexibility but be warned this will only apply to the favoured people brought in. Apprentices are treated as cheap labour and given false hope for extended opportunities just to be let go at the end of the apprenticeship to make way for another apprentice to take their place.
