Pros

City and Guilds come across as a progressive company and have potential to live up to their name.

Cons

In reality the management do not live up to the company reputation, run a cliquey show and make it difficult for anyone not in the club to put forward ideas or progress their role or their career. I felt held back because of incredible favouritism with certain colleagues. The communication from senior managers is ridiculous, they would rather email you late at night than speak to you and will use personal email addresses when they want to send something that might be a concern of HR, which by the way is just a show department for this group as issues are swept under the very threadbare carpet.

Pros

Used to be a strong brand with great products to sell to customers and see them succeed.

Cons

Now it's micromanaged with lots of reporting on why every side of the business is collapsing.
