Pros
- Flexibility to manage your own day to an extent however you will more often than not come up against a brick wall when dealing with anyone else within the company.
Cons
- No matter how much you try to manage your time, you will still ultimately be set up to fail by a company run by incompetent and competing directors that are unaware of the labour market, and don't support their staff. - No training given whatsoever from any part of the company, expected to just be 100% aware of procedures with SFA funding, paperwork, JobCentre compliance, HR procedures etc. without any support along the way. - You will be employed to do one job, but ultimately end up doing several as the company haemorrhages staff yet they seem unable to replace them. - You will not be supported by management in any form. Directors are constantly bickering amongst themselves and the whole company feels like an ego exercise for them. Your line managers do not support you in the several roles you are trying to manage, instead insisting that you support them as they can not adequately complete their own duties. - The company (management) believes itself to have far greater capabilities than it actually has, only having minimal staff yet consistently having aspirations of beating rivals such as Babington (a former employer of one of the directors) in terms of growth, without any understanding of how this will be achieved. - Other employers in other areas (Work Coaches, Trainers etc.) seem to relish the opportunity to pass their workload onto someone else and will do anything to undermine their colleagues.
