      Pros

      You meet nice consultants forget about permanent staff especially HR and account mangers they treat you as they won you since you made the mistake of signing the contract

      Cons

      Bad pay even compared to working at Pret a a manager full time 80% of placement is personal assistant/ documentation support services ( I am talking about business stream) The 20% of placement which are actually good might not come from top companies double check the role not the name similar to their way of thinking. The overall values of the companies are so bad you can see that in their structure the high returns they get from the consultants contract is distributed between recruiters account mangers and shareholder. Whatever happens is your fault while you are at FDM or on site they will never stand by you they are always fighting you and when it comes to problems on sight they will put the blame on you regardless of what actually happens which leads to disciplinary and even if they sack you they will ask for the money They value of there business training is no more than 6000£ if you are doing it outside and at a better quality still they price it at 20000£ their trainers are below average

      FDM Group Response
      10y
      Jonathan Young, CIO: "Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry that you feel you have not had a good experience at FDM. We are extremely upfront regarding the pay package that we provide. It is outlined a number of times during the recruitment process before we present it to you in the contract. In addition, there is a 2 week “cooling-off” period at the start of the training where should you decide to leave, you are free to do so without fulfilling the contract, which is unusual for a graduate training programme. Our business model includes award-winning training, support and a network that you would not find from a recruitment agency. We employ all our candidates ourselves and therefore are clearly not a recruitment agency. The training has been designed in collaboration with our clients and their specifications – and is regularly valued successfully against the market. This bespoke training is one of the reasons they continue to work with us for the long-term. I am sorry you felt that the training/trainers were ‘below average’. Trainees are asked to provide training feedback weekly, as I am sure you experienced, so I hope you raised your concerns at the time so that we had a chance to improve on any specific areas you are referring to. If you did not, and you would like to speak to me personally about areas of training, HR or Account Management that can be improved, please contact me by emailing jonathan.young@fdmgroup.com."

      Pros

      - Offers a back door into blue chip companies should you lack in any area of their applications process. - Entry level roles allow for progress within these companies. - Easy to get into

      Cons

      - Training is basic to say the least classroom based with trainers who don't really understand the role. - £20,000 debt is what you end up with from the training if u leave at any time before the end of two years, that is only just off the price of university fees. - If you don't get a placement then you have to still attend your nearest academy and they still don't pay you. This means that if you pay travel costs and don't get placed for 3 months after you have completed training then you still have to pay to get there which for me would have cost a further £900 on top of the initial £900 to cover the training itself. - when you get placed you have to sort out your own living costs. - No guarantee of a job after training. - No security with the job. - No loyalty to trainees. Considering that people are there products the treatment of staff is awful and the seem to have no empathy for people.
