Pros

Career Advisor out on the field are great to work with. They try their best in all circumstances the job is easy to do and not difficult

Cons

Dis-functional, no structure, way too many changes is beyond ridiculous ! passive aggressive, blame and bullying culture Low PAY! no benefits... unrealistic targets based role Many staff members are off sick with work related stress high turnover with many staff members are leaving NC - skeleton staff incompetent managers, Expect certain managers to takes Credit For Your Work lack of knowledge of the employment market, many managers are not qualified to deliver Information Guidance and advice. this company allow this type of behaviour by not having clear guidelines and value statements in place that stress the importance of recognising employees for their work. Some managers feel threatened by certain employees. Expect mood swings and tantrums in the office. management are challenging, fickle and constantly changing their minds, they can trigger never-ending false starts. management will deliberately not listen to their staff. They don't want to hear your viewpoint. No guarantee of permanent role backbiting is constant, managers have spreads rumours and gossips about their staff, it's disheartening and awkward — and entirely unprofessional. power, authority, showmanship are important over knowledge and ability Managers will stick to together, regardless if one their own colleague is wrong. Too many overpromises by management , no truth, lack of general feedback Some management expects you to be just like them and some are pushy and overbearing. obvious favouritism No support No respect No Communication Little or no career progression within the workforce HR are completely useless, they are unwilling to cooperate, never answer your emails Old fashioned Management style are unreasonable and needs to stop immediately... i cant believe they allow ridiculous methods in this company to continue

Pros

The results you get from the lives you change. All the intense, sickening and down right abuse from management is worthwhile from the people you meet. Other advisors are fantastic to work with too. Totally inclusive team with no office politics. We all look out for each other.

Cons

Management focusing on the negatives rather than the positives. Carrot works much, much better than stick!

Pros

Many of the people working for Prospects are very nice and fun to socialise with. The organisation tries hard to be better than it is and they are generally well meaning with high moral standards when conducting business. Their employment T&Cs are fair.

Cons

They have a lot of middle management who are highly paid yet lack even skills. These managers often block progression of those with skills and cost the company dearly with their incremental pay rises. There is no innovation which has any meaningful impact. From IT to Facilities the entire outfit is full of difficult bureaucracy. Vision of company is often not projected down to all layers of staff and there is a lack of staff morale. Small perks of working there are very small or non-existent. Processes are either not followed or strangle progress in work. The list does on.
