Pros

I used to hear people say, “I love my job” and be both envious and a little sceptical of this statement, but it was undoubtedly something I wanted to be able to say. I relish a challenge, I dreamt of unlimited earning potential, I envisaged working in a lively, fun, exciting, supportive environment. In short, I wanted to love my job too. I had set my heart on a new career in recruitment but with no sales background, was this too tall an order? Not for TeacherActive! I am proud and delighted to say I am now part of this fantastic company and I frequently say with glee, “I love my job!” The training, care and continual development I have received since working here have surpassed my expectations. TeacherActive is a very sociable, forward-thinking, supportive and exciting company to work for. People here are genuinely interested in and care about others’ well-being, progress and success.

Cons

None, I am very happy working here.

Pros

Decent salary progression and ok training

Cons

Toxic management, no internal promotions (most branch managers and team leaders hired externally with no education background), HR complaints not followed up, forced to hit KPI's even if they don't help develop your desk, long hours

We appreciate all forms of feedback so thank you for taking the time to write this review, We're glad to hear you enjoyed the salary and reward frameworks as part of your role. Team leaders and branch managers are screened for their skills and qualities in management and leadership. Through a robust process, these people either come from an education recruitment background or have transferable skills to fulfil the role. We also ensure they are a great fit for their team and match our existing culture. We pride ourselves on our positive company culture and have seen no evidence of a 'toxic' management. We have checked with HR, and there are no complaints concluded or in process regarding this, so we would appreciate more information so we can look into this. Please email feedback@teacheractive.com with further information, and a member of the senior leadership team will be in touch. Thank you and kind regards TeacherActive

Pros

Office in the city centre so it's easy for people to get to

Cons

Everyone is fake they smile to your face and then message eaxh other on Teams complaining about you. They all get drunk in tne office and I heard that the CEO and people who've been there for ages do drugs. The money is only good if you sell your soul.

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. We pride ourselves on our welcoming environment and want to ensure everyone feels safe at work. If you have any specific instances to report, please contact us at feedback@teacheractive.com and a member of the senior leadership team will be in touch. We apologise if you felt that you were required to work in an environment with ‘drunk’ colleagues. We take workplace professionalism seriously and whilst team members are invited to select a drink from our fridges on a Friday in recognition of their work, there is a two-drink maximum for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Whilst we acknowledge you’ve cited drug taking, you’ve identified this as being something you’ve ‘heard’ rather than witnessed. We have a clear zero-tolerance policy which is actively enforced, and we are confident that this does not reflect the working environment at TeacherActive. There is currently no contractual requirement to exchange your soul for a competitive market salary, but we do ask employees to bring both motivation and determination to work. Kind regards TeacherActive
