Is this your company?

Odd business with a cult of personality around the CEO - Telesales Agent Open Study College Employee Review

Pros

The pleasure you get when you quit.

Cons

Seemingly fixated with a rival company called Oxbridge. There appears to be a very reactionary knee-jerk management style, and I could see a weird cult of personality around the CEO. Staff seem to be either blood relatives, partners, or do the required amount of fawning needed to gain approval. Most of the social media posts or award wins seem to be about the business acumen of CEO specifically which is odd when it's supposed to be a college. Quite a few staff hired and fired very speedily as managers regularly throw subordinates under the bus.

Pros

The majority of courses we sold are from other providers so the errors are less. We got cash incentives

Cons

I worked here for slightly less than a year, which exceeded the average time! Initially, the experience was tolerable, but gradually deteriorated due to poor management and constantly changing impractical ideas. It is an unfavorable work environment where no one is highly regarded or valued unless they are part of the inner circle, which consists of managers or owners who marry individuals within the company. The current manager, who was previously married to the original owner and is now engaged to another senior staff member, lacks competence according to my own observations and the opinions of others. Not a good place to work and good people are treated badly in favour of people who dance to the tune of the managers.

Pros

I have worked at the college for almost 4 years and I cannot imagine working anywhere else. The team and management only want the best for you and to boost you up. They care about our opinions and what we have to say. It is great that you get to work so close with the owners and higher management.

Cons

None that I can think of.
