Thank you for you review, we appreciate honest feedback as we look to improve at what we do. We are disappointed to hear your experience was not to the standard we would have liked, although it is not in line with our recent employee survey where we scored very highly for staff wellbeing. TeacherActive has worked hard to protect our team during COVID-19 and beyond, having set up the Employee Assistance Programme, health care services and not furloughing any of our staff throughout the pandemic, with all of our salaries above minimum wage. If you'd like to discuss you experience further we'd really like to hear from you on how we can improve. Please email feedback@teacheractive.com so we can continue the discussion. Kind Regards TeacherActive

Pros

Clear and quick paths for progression in job title, salary and commission. There's a clear correlation between effort and reward in your work. Company ethos and management has been fantastic from my experience. Down to earth management and directors.

Cons

Being Education recruitment the hours are 07:30 - 17:00, but this is not a negative of TeacherActive, but rather something that is the case across all Education Recruitment.
