Pros

The stress you are put under causes you to form close bonds with your peers as you cling to each other for survival. Every so often they accidentally put the right learner on the right course and they make a difference to someone's life. It's rare, but sometimes it happens and gives you a warm glow. On the whole the learners are lovely.

Cons

The pressure from the ceo to write positive reviews on pages such as glassdoor to improve ratings as too many honest reviews got through. Learners are income generators, and if they are on the right course, if its of benefit to them, if they have the language skills to cope or if they're too advanced is not considered relevant. You are encouraged to do whatever you need to do to make paperwork right. Managers lack training and although there are some good ones, there are also really, really poor ones that make life absolutely miserable. Pay is well below industry standard and there is absolutely no training or CPD.

Pros

Absolutely none whatsoever. Complete Shambles.

Cons

Everything. "Learners" are forced to undertake various qualifications that are of no merit or use when looking for work, but if they're sent here and don't turn up they lose benefits, even through the place has nothing to offer them and everyone knows they're wasting their time. Go Train exists solely to syphon cash away from funding agencies with noble intentions into the bank accounts of the CEO's. Overheads are kept to minimum to generate as much income for the CEO's as possible including wages for lower level staff,cand equipment. Staff are pressured to leave positive reviews on pages like this in a blatant act of dishonesty. Company as a whole is horrifically cliquey and if your face doesn't fit, or you don't let certain team members tell you what you can and can't do with your own time, life etc you aee frozen out, harassed and given all the difficult jobs. Horrible, badly run, nasty place to work.
