Pros

Prior to Theresa Rein, the founder, leaving there was a great atmosphere and I enjoyed being able to help people in a supportive company.

Cons

Since Theresa Rein left and the American finance organisation took over the organisation went through multiple redundancies and the environment soured. The targets were increasingly difficult to meet through no fault of the advisors, and whilst I met my own targets it was awful to watch colleagues dragged over the coals for things they had very limited control over. The management during this time was pretty much non-existent as anyone capable jumped ship to better opportunities and all that was left were the people who wouldn't have succeeded had this not happened and who frankly did not have a clue what they were doing. The direct manager we had did not care one bit about the staff and was only interested in jockeying for position for what would come after the work programme contract had finished, and this seemed common across the other managers that we had contact with. At the point at which I took voluntary redundancy there were more people that wanted to leave than wanted to stay. If that doesn't say all you need to know about Ingeus then I don't know what else will help.

Pros

A team who truly care about making a difference in learners lives Everyone works hard to make it work and reach for 'Outstanding' An inspirational Director and Head of Delivery who understand the sector and what it takes to be the best Very competitive salaries Ingeus - Work hard to support the skills division and support our growth Ingeus - Provide me as a manager the tools required to do my best, an amazing company

Cons

Been through a lot of redundancies, however businesses are constantly changing and with change in this sector unfortunately comes redundancies. With this in mind I believe those who are made redundant would have taken a huge amount of skills and knowledge from Ingeus/Invisage to support them in another great role/company!
