Pros

The Knowledge academy is very BIG BROTHER environment to work in. There are few key people in the business who " brown nosers" the owners. it's contract of employment is ridiculous, with very harsh post term clauses. in a nutshell it says if you sign up to the work for TKA then you can't work in the same field or competitor for 1 year even if you decide to do a completely different job. the standard hours of work are 8am to 6pm (50 hours week) for a 16K salary (sales job/admin) this is where 80% of the staff come in on.

Cons

it is very stressful environment, the CEO is a complete tantrum man with no regards for language or respect for staff, lots of shouting and swearing goes on. also I don't know if you notice as soon as a bad review is posted about TKA, lots of good one are a posted to move the bad review out of sight. recent articles in the press have highlighted the true way this company operates. Employees are not allowed to socialise with ex-employees even if they were friend before they joined TKA. you are constantly monitored. if you hear the management speaking in there own language (Punjabi), that's the que they are talking about the staff. it is very unethical company to work for, where profits come before customers and staff

Uncaring Attitude Toward Staff

Pros

None that come to mind.

Cons

TKA take on their staff with many promises and it would be possible to remain there for some time if you are prepared to put in very long hours with no reward financial or otherwise. The staff turnover is very high which speaks for itself. There is no regard for a decent work/life balance. Senior staff are prevented from doing the job (by the owners) they have been taken on to do and then marched out of the door unexpectedly. If you need job security and the ability to pay your mortgage do not apply for a position with these people.
