Pros

Some colleagues were lovely and supportive. They had a few socials

Cons

Where do I even begin. Management were hypocritical, unsupportive and you're treated as disposable from day one. You are also expected to work pretty much 24/7 and no, the pay does not reflect this. Staff turnover is the biggest joke here. I was here a month. I sustained an injury outside of work, which left me unable to walk. The day after I was straight back in work and dedicated to my role. I was dismissed for needing to take 4 days off to go to hospital and recover. No saftey measures were put in place. Despite having the tools to work from home or work at the desks on the ground floor, I was expected to use crutches to go up and down a large flight of stairs all day every day - also for meetings and bathroom breaks. I was talked about behind my back, made fun of by management and treated as an inconvenience. I struggled to work on crutches, only to be fired the second I walked in the door after the time off. I can honestly say this is the worst experience I’ve ever had working for a company. Sharing so others can avoid making the same mistake I did of working here.

Pros

During my time at Class People, I always felt supported and listened to. Management were approachable and consistently available to offer guidance or suggestions when needed. They showed a genuine commitment to professional development, and I really appreciated their approach of, “if you want to try something, we’ll back you in it.” That mindset created an open, trusting culture where new ideas were encouraged and individuals were given room to grow and take ownership of their work. It was a truly positive and empowering environment to be part of.

Cons

The biggest challenge I found was striking the balance between commercial interests and doing what felt fair, particularly when working with candidates who didn’t always share the same commitment to the company’s values. It’s part of the nature of the industry, but it could occasionally make decision-making more complex.

Pros

Good team of consultants who sadly eventually leave

Cons

Cold hearted individuals who put their own needs before anything else/team member. They don't lead from front and is very much a do as I say/not as I do. They come across as specialists online when realistically it is all show and eventually the ship will sink.
