Pros

There are some great work colleagues

Cons

New to the apprenticeship sector and far too many changes over a short period of time Micro-managed to within an inch of your life Caseloads which are unmanageable Unrealistic KPIs due to size of caseloads Lack of transparency, communication and direction SMT is now friends of friends ideas which almost seem dreamt up over a pint or two, and driven simply by data not best interest of learners High volume of turnover of staff speaks volumes Constant cancellation of 121s so grievences can not be aired A backward approach to company restructure meaning less support for tutors in all areas yet an increase in workload and caseload Promise of progression for tutors and increase in salary which are then not given but instead replace with write me a job proposal.

Pros

Left to own devices. Efficient I.T kit supplied quickly. E-Learning for learners is mostly good. Expensive 1.5 day twice-yearly hotel get-togethers. Lots of experienced professionals scattered across the company.

Cons

Very isolated working, most staff were very heavily isolated staff and it felt like this was intentional. Cliquey middle management put friendships ahead of efficiency. Senior staff are playing catch-up to the industry. E-Learning team create good resources but not ground breaking. Behind the curve for educational delivery & development. Top-down communication with little staff consultation. Twice a year events were superficial, full of top-down communication, cheesy 'team building' activities, and evenings were mostly booze-led (with some tacky SMT hen-party vibes).
