Pros

Training provided. Can be an entry into the field.

Cons

- incredibly toxic management. They speak terribly about other staff members in front of graduates. It’s really uncomfortable and unprofessional. - If you decide the job isn’t for you, they want you to pay thousands of pounds to quit despite your salary only being £18k - some contracts with very immoral companies - they will fire you at the drop of a hat. There is a 0 job stability as a contract can fall through at any time. You may have just relocated and they will drop you.

Pros

Those who joined were really great to work with. It’s a shame they have all been fired and replaced now. It’ll never be the same.

Cons

My experience with the company was overwhelmingly negative. I was subjected to microaggressions, especially from management, which created a very uncomfortable work environment. On one occasion, I overheard management speaking disrespectfully about another race while talking amongst white colleagues in a secondary room. This was completely inappropriate and unprofessional. Such comments made it clear that there was a lack of understanding and respect for diversity in the workplace The work environment was extremely unstable. Over the span of a year, I had to witness over 20+ people being fired, which created a lot of anxiety among employees. The lack of job security made it difficult to focus on doing your best work, and instead, I spent a lot of time worrying about whether I’d be next. It was clear that the company was quick to replace people, even if they were performing well. If they didn’t like you, they’d make your job difficult, push you out, or make your role redundant
