Supportive colleagues in a fast-paced environment - Learner Support Executive Skills Development Academy Employee Review

Avoid this company at all costs. The environment is highly toxic, disorganized, and lacks any basic respect for humans. Turnover is incredibly high, and it is common for new hires to be terminated within their first few days without valid reason. This isn't an isolated incident; many former employees at Skills Development Academy (formerly FirstCom Academy) have faced the exact same abrupt dismissals. Save your time and stay away.

According to someone who knows the company, they have a zero-tolerance policy for poor appearance, and new hires with ugly, oily and fat get fired quickly.

Aside from the extremely heavy workload, I am unable to identify many positive aspects of working in this company

Employees were required to attend town hall sessions almost 3-4 time a month and return for training sessions approximately once or twice a week. In addition, there appeared to be continuous pressure regarding sales performance, where targets were frequently described as insufficient regardless of the results achieved. There was also an expectation for employees to work overtime, with concerns that failure to do so could affect job security. Despite putting in significant effort and achieving sales results, employees were still informed that their performance was not adequate. Furthermore, there are concerns that after employees were asked to leave, the company retained the revenue generated from their sales while commissions payments were not provided.
