City & Guilds reviews

Pretty much everything- I am fairly new, my first day was what you dread as a starter- no training whatsoever- no explanation of my job, it was like they had never even had a starter there before, half the time I was sat twiddling my thumbs and realising the place was a joke. My managing team are constantly busy telling me that if I need work 'just ask' even though they always fob me off saying they are busy- should I have to be asking for work when I have been here enough time to know what I should be doing Well guess what, I still don't know what I'm doing because nobody invests time on me to get me started in my role. Training is non existent and the atmosphere is boring and without excitement or ambition and people generally do not care. It is literally the worst place I have ever worked and I feel like a child being given scraps of work, by people who don't care about the workplace but care so much about their own tasks to the point of being jobsworths. I just hate it and please take my advice- if you're reading this in interview stages and have doubts, consider his carefully because the only way I describe it is a struggle to go there everyday- I wish I had acted on these reviews when I had doubts!

One of the worst places I have ever worked. Senior management are marked out by a lack of understanding bordering on mental health conditions. Unfair recruitment, blame culture and appalling organisations skills are notable day to day features. Even worse when this problems are highlighted or abuses found a sort of Catholic church culture permeates confounding existing problems. Attempts to undermine the union are transparent leading to a breakdown in communication. Illegal behaviour is also commonplace due to a lack of understanding of the law on HR's part. Chris Jones couldn't be a more out of touch money grabbing idiot who single handedly is managing to bury the company. Note on his linked in profile he spells grammar school 'grammer school' which is indicative of his general idiocy and incompetence. His main fundamental flaw is a lack of interest in what his company actually makes, that is qualifications. Until he increases funding in that area and stops appointing his gravy train mates with dubious HR procedures I fear things will not get better there.
