Best Company I've Ever Worked For!

Pros

I've worked for TeacherActive for almost two years and have never been disappointed. From the first time I spoke to the internal recruitment team I knew I was on to a winner. Whilst the interview process was challenging, it was also exciting and gave me a real insight into the role itself. There were no illusions of grandure and I can confidently say I have not only found my ideal career but am also working for the best company within this industry.

Cons

The hours can be long but what you put in, you certainly get out. You have to work incredibly hard but it is well rewarded and acknowledged.

Pros

I have been working for TeacherActive for 3 years and have been extremelty well supported by all levels of staff. I have been well managed and guided to reach my goals. The work is hard and the days are long but the rewards are well worth it. The team are work in are all fantasic people and get on very well with all memebers in and out of work.

Cons

I dont really have any "cons" I think the only thing would be the hours but oncew you have put the hard work in and start working smart they do lessen.
