Pros

Not many pros at all apart from majority of the team got along fairly well with each other, we were there to help one another

Cons

Where do I even begin? Firstly the company sells you dreams that you can really make a difference in peoples lives and you'll really be changing them and helping them. Initially, I was told I get a clothing voucher towards work clothes when you start, What they didn't say is that once you get paid that get revoked. The management was absolutely terrible, staff turnover was so high, within my first 6 months of being there, at least 6 people had left, and after that it was almost one person every month or so. The participants that are on the program are just numbers to the company, all they care about was getting people into jobs asap because that's how they get paid. The job role is an advisor, basically like a job/work coach. You weren't just that, I had to play a role of therapist, English teacher, housing advisor, probation worker like it was just a joke. The company promote employee mental wellness, yet didn't follow occupational health reports while I had taken some time off to due to mental health. They're also a crafty company, and will continue to extend your probation so you cannot be eligible for company benefits. They took away the remote days, when you first start they really upsell the fact that it was hybrid. By the time I had left the company, majority of the team had too, including the branch manager. Pay wise, I also then found that many of my colleagues who has the EXACT same role as me were getting paid 2-3k more than me.

Pros

A team who truly care about making a difference in learners lives Everyone works hard to make it work and reach for 'Outstanding' An inspirational Director and Head of Delivery who understand the sector and what it takes to be the best Very competitive salaries Ingeus - Work hard to support the skills division and support our growth Ingeus - Provide me as a manager the tools required to do my best, an amazing company

Cons

Been through a lot of redundancies, however businesses are constantly changing and with change in this sector unfortunately comes redundancies. With this in mind I believe those who are made redundant would have taken a huge amount of skills and knowledge from Ingeus/Invisage to support them in another great role/company!
