Unprofessional working environment

Recruitment consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You can make some very good money here if you work 80 hours a week including your days off

Cons

Unprofessional working environment - bullying, harassment and cliqueyness. Shouting, jealousy and intimidation is a regular occurrence in the office if they see you as a threat. So you either get bullied for making lots of money or you get sacked for not making enough.

We take feedback seriously at TeacherActive and thank you for taking the time to reflect on your experience with us. It’s disheartening to hear that you couldn’t build meaningful relationships with your colleagues, and we take reports of bullying and harassment very seriously. If there is a specific instance you would like to report, please email feedback@teacheractive.com and a member of the senior leadership team will be in touch. While recruitment is known to be fast-paced, and we do ask colleagues to bring both motivation and determination to work, there is no requirement to work 80 hours a week or during annual leave. We wish you all the best in your next role. If you have any further comments or questions, please email feedback@teacheractive.com Kind regards TeacherActive
