Lack of basic respect is the major downfall - IT Consultant FDM Group Employee Review

Limited bursary during training limits people to either eating through their savings, or having to rely on parents help. Communication between trainees and account managers is almost non-existent. If rejected, they rarely tell you, instead you have to approach them to ask if you got the placement or not. Even when accepted there is a complete lack of information in the lead up to your placement. I got an email at 9pm one evening telling me to be on standby the next day to start. The next I heard from the account manager was a week later. Since being on placement, it takes about 2 weeks to get a reply to emails sent. We are told about relocation support early on in training, but again they wait for you to go to them for it. For the duration of the 2 year placement, sick pay is unpaid. This is just so wrong, and I bet they still charge the clients for the days work. Again, 20 days holiday is less than average.
