Supportive team and genuinely helps people, - Career Consultant Learning People Employee Review

I’ve worked at Learning People for several years and yes there’s been lots of change but if you’re open to it and get involved then you’ll do really well. It’s a comfortable and friendly office to work in, we get fruit and treats as well as a suite of benefits. Like in any job it can be tough at times but those that listen to what’s being said, are open to new ideas and adapt, do really well here. We also get to hear some fantastic life changing stories from students who have worked with us to change or enhance their careers.

Parking is not great but then that’s Brighton! That said, we’re right by Hove station and we should all be walking more anyway!

I don’t usually leave reviews, but working here honestly drained me. At first it seemed like a decent opportunity, but after a few months it became clear the company was completely disorganised. Priorities changed constantly, nobody seemed to know what was going on, and employees were expected to just “figure it out” with very little support. The workload kept increasing while morale kept getting worse. People were stressed all the time, and management’s answer was usually another meeting instead of actually fixing the problem. A lot of good employees left while I was there, and after a while you start to understand why. The hardest part was how unappreciated everyone felt. You could work late, hit targets, help the team, and it still felt like it was never enough. Communication from leadership was poor speciality from the sales managers and sales director and there was a big disconnect between management and the people actually doing the work. There are some genuinely good people there, and honestly my coworkers were the only reason the job was bearable some days. I learned a lot, mainly about the kind of environment I never want to work in again.
