Ingeus reviews

This company employed two distinct types, real people who hate the management and pity the rubbish they have to put the poor sods referred to them by by the jobcentre on pain of loss of benefits and homelessness and starvation. The others are mindless drones who buy into the "self help book" pop psychology and have no power or status in the real world but get a kick from patronising and bullying the clients into submission. The managers are selected from the worst of these people and are truly unbelievable. I have never worked anywhere where intelligence will work against and make the job harder. I left without a job to go to because I just could not face that level of hypocrisy or stupidity any longer, I have never regretted it and felt like a different person almost immediately.

You will meet the worst humanity has to offer. Aggressive, uneducated, ignorant, lazy, arrogant, sneaky and poor social skills - that's enough about the PDMs, let's talk about the clients. Your small caseload will be long term sick and long term never done a days work in their lives. Your job is to get 8 people per month into work lasting more than 6 months. You will have to see 12 of these deadbeats per day, whilst undertaking endless pointless admin work against a backdrop of your manager shouting at you and threatening to sack you. Even if you can resist the urge of giving your pdm a back handed slap, this job will drain any goodness you may have and you will end up hating unemployed people. You will probably give some serious consideration to taking your own life. I could not put into words or convey how horrible this job has become. The PDM in my office was hated by the whole company yet she was held up by senior management as the troubleshooter. Maybe this had more to do with her low cut tops ( it certainly wasnt because of her ability as she didn't have any as a manager) Her presence would make you want to vomit. Management have a contemptuous attitude towards staff. They will remind you daily of how grateful you should be for getting paid a decent salary. ( btw, What they pay you is not enough to put up with all the things in this job)
