Stay away from this joke of a company
Stay away from this joke of a company! I don't where start? Lies: This comes from the top! Their website is full of lies and employees are asked to lie and make up numbers of courses by counting single courses 10 times with slightly differing titles! Promises are made regarding being given equity to tempt developers in or experts in various fields. One of these even was presented with a certificate showing equity but this equity did not even exist. The boss has various profiles on Companies House all with differing birthdays... Look him up! You'll find loads of companies with some being forced to close owing MASSIVE amounts of money. The turnover of staff is unreal. Staff come in and mysteriously vanish. Employees are told to block sacked former employees. The whole set up is a joke. The boss sits on his own in a corner with a fancy chair, emails his partner who is about 10ft from him and she then emails you to stop talking or to tell you you aren't working hard enough. The boss also has a number 2. There is a decent guy in his number 2 somewhere but unfortunately, number 2 has to do all of the boss's dirty work. A shame because he is a nice guy. If the boss and his girlfriend go into the kitchen, get some headphones on or something as they go there to have blazing rows in which they think no one can hear - embarrassing and unprofessional to say the least. Honestly, I could go on and on and on... Just stay away from this place!
Disorganised .
Disorganised .. pointless .. waste of time - The CEO definitely is trying to rip off 'Udemy', with a launch of a new business model, however, with the lack of experience in this area & training currently focused on Adult / Social Care, this leap will certainly fail as they won't be able to compete with the bigger players. - The CEO definitely has ideas of grandeur, however, doesn't seem on the face of it to have the financial backing to implement this .. on several occasions I've heard that 'we can't afford X role'. I was worried about getting paid .. given I had no formal documentation ... I did chase on a couple of occasions and met with hostility. - The CEO likes to have some power-play over his staff & comes in tracksuits .. whereas his employees are asked to wear business attire .. having such a leadership style is maybe one of the reasons this business has a high turn over of staff. - There is ZERO atmosphere in the office and staff are asked to email/phone other colleagues when the office is really small, you could just walk up to the person (yes we are in the middle of a pandemic .. but you could still social distance). However, with that being said .. the use of phones doesn't look great to others when you're on the phone with solicitors, talking about them taking a case, about the none payment of business office rent since March 2020. - I did notice that they used their Jira tool to schedule interviews and saw they mentioned about one candidate as 'scatty' ... very unprofessional and I'm sure illegal
No business etiquette whatsoever
No business etiquette whatsoever. I was invited to an interview arranged in writing.When I got there, I was tod the interview had been cancelled and that MD Neil Degg had gone into a meeting. As you might imagine,I was furious, travelling into Manchester and giving up the best part of my day. No business etiquette whatsoever, just bad manors. The sad thing is that he told his secretary to lie for him. What other lies do they tell?
Difficult to get through to talk to a …
Difficult to get through to talk to a human if the application goes wrong. Their contact telephone number doesn't work. You have to e-mail and wait days for an answer, at which point you have to keep checking your log in as they don't tell you when an answer is waiting.
Excellent
Thanks to traininghub I have started my new career!
