QA reviews

I was taken on as part of a graduate scheme. 24 graduates, promised mentoring, training and a "consultative" sales environment where the client comes first. Working to place young people into apprenticeship roles, we were told that we would make a real difference to their futures and would be given the time and space to do the right thing for both apprentice and client. What absolute lies. All you really need to know is that, 6 months after the start of the graduate scheme only 8 of the 24 graduates were left working there. Several were actually fired in public - I assume to deliberately scare us. We spent all our time cold-calling, having our calls listened to and criticised. Constant public put-downs were made and we were subjected to content notices from higher management saying that we were lazy and not working hard enough or criticising the fact that we were "letting the employers make the decisions on the sales process" - even though we were working incredibly hard. Several times, when an employer felt a young person wasn't right for them, my manager said, "make them take that person: I need my commission" This was the whole outlook of the company - money before integrity. But they had lured us in on a false promise. As graduates, we were not entitled to sick pay, and were told that we were "expected" to work through lunch breaks and stay late every day. We had targets that were much higher than non-graduate colleagues and for the privilege, we were paid several thousand pounds a year less. I was consistently blamed for mistakes made by colleagues and told they were my fault (when they weren't) or that I was 'over-reacting' (but then publically told off for the consequences) This company is fundamentally dishonest. If you have no morals it's the right place for you.

Absolute scammers. DO NOT TRUST THEM!!!!! 12 week training programme​ was outlined as world class. The trainers do not care and the course material you can find all over the internet. I learnt nothing more or less than what i already knew. This concern was outlined by all my colleagues after the training. The contract they make you sign is a massive SCAM. 2 year contract if you leave or fired within 2 years you will have to pay back £12k training fees. And trust me when i say the training isnt even worth £1k. They will wait till the last few months of your contract to fire most people and they will end up paying back £12k without cause. They even rob you of your last month's payment!!!! They send you a pdf of the last payslip, and all your net pay is deducted to training costs without your consent or knowledge. The whole process and individuals there are cogs in a massive money making schemes where you they prey, not only on the weakest of sheep, but they pray upon most people who sign the contract. They never portray any feedback and will fire you on the spot. They will be quick to send out the outstanding £12k training fee letter however, every other information will be with held from you untill youre too deep into the hole to realise your massive mistake!!!. PLEASE do not make the same mistake. Many of us made. Trust me....and the other 100+ people they have scammed out of money and time. AVOID QA Consulting!!!!!!!
