Pros
Good starting salary, invaluable experience.
Cons
Ingeus is by far the most corrupt and incompetent company I have ever had the misfortune of working for. The employment advisors are overworked, with no career progression and no improvement in salary. You are pushed beyond your limits and the only thing that matters to senior managment is "targets". Ingeus was not founded to be a profit making machine, it was founded to help people get back on their feet and back into employment. There has been almost 100% turnover of staff in its first year in Northern Ireland. The managers pass your probation, then bully you into meeting targets, and performance manage many of their staff out the door, myself included. The majority of the clients have never worked, and have no desire to work as they are satisfied letting the taxes of the working public pay for them to sit at home. The company have also promised their new staff a lot, but delivered little. This job is not about the "clients", it's about making money and hitting targets. If you can manage a high level of stress, no career progression and the misery of an awful office environment then by all means work here. If like myself you want a job where you can make a difference and are treated like a human being as opposed to a machine then look elsewhere.
