Vantaggi
The sales team in the UK were great, the people made it a bearable workplace but then over 70% were made redundant.
Svantaggi
The most untrustworthy company to work for. GoStudent made over 70% of it's workforce redundant in March earlier this year, leaving hundreds out of work in a difficult and competitive job market. Now, less that two months on, they've started hiring again without even thinking to reach out to those who were let go (not that anyone would say yes to such a disgusting company). As a former sales rep, I was over worked with long hours including weekends, bank holidays and evening shifts despite my contract being Monday to Friday 9-6pm. I was underpaid for the amount of work I was doing. Given unachievable targets unless I worked every single day. Underappreciated by higher management. Had benefits stripped away such as commission models, bonuses, lunch vouchers etc. The only "benefit" I was given was flexi-time which was just a way of the company getting me to work more when they wanted me. This is for anyone thinking of joining GoStudent as a member of staff: DO NOT DO IT IF YOU VALUE YOURSELF. GoStudent could and should have been such a great place to work but it has been ruined by incompetence and poor management.
