Pros
The training doesn't look bad on your CV, and the trainers do provide sound advise on improving your CV.
Cons
The training can be found online and often for free. The trainers don't necessarily train you...you're often told to read through slides by yourself, have meaningless group tasks set for a 1/3 of the day, or watch videos that are available online and for free. Not exactly what was promised. We were told that hardly anyone went over their 90 day period but this is not the reality. FDM is struggling to post trainees to their clients; Brexit is the excuse, which could be the case. FDM hold charity events regularly and trainees are told to donate to a charity that FDM has selected. Seems like an odd policy to have unpaid trainees donating when FDM is profiting on the back of their desperation to find work. Also there is never any mention of how much FDM donates from its company profits.
