Used to be incredible. Now run by bullies

Pros

Genuinely inclusive recruitment Annual bonus. Good mission. Fantastic internal team-specific training. Great to work in education. Legendary annual darts tournament! Some knowledgeable colleagues willing and excited to share their passion and expertise.

Cons

Culture dramatically changed in 2022; lost the family, caring feel. Horrendous bullying culture enabled by very poor HR. Widespread practice of pressuring people out, rather than having respectful adult to adult conversations. Apprentices openly used as cheap labour. Having moved to remote / hybrid working, new management then regressed back into last century and now actively encourage presenteeism rather than find innovative ways to foster the workplace community. Lazy management. To compound this, the office premises are not fit for purpose and you often have to work without a desk when you could be at home. People (grown men with decades of industry experience) reduced to tears in meetings and HR do nothing when approached by multiple staff.

Below average staff treatment

Pros

The aims of the company is amazing, improving education for children is at the forefront of all employees priorities. Flexible opportunities for some. Remote working. Amazing annual leave offering and sick pay provided.

Cons

The company is incredibly divided internally, people are discriminated by senior management and struck down with words as opposed to providing sufficient support and training. Complete remote working isolated staff and no support given to those that did not want to work entirely remotely. Expect to be bullied by middle/senior management if you make even the slightest error, it is made very clear that grudges will be held. The pay is way below other industry standards, managers will hold staff back to save money on promotions as it is easier to lose people and repeat recruitment. Exceptionally long notice periods for people of low grade roles. Hypocritical internal company ethos, promoting diversity, sustainability and equality when this is not put into practice internally. HR will not help if you are put in an upsetting or uncomfortable situation, people are pushed out of the company. Too much money invested into outdated marketing. The company promotes flexibility but be warned this will only apply to the favoured people brought in. Apprentices are treated as cheap labour and given false hope for extended opportunities just to be let go at the end of the apprenticeship to make way for another apprentice to take their place.
