Your worst nightmare! Just run away from this place! - Administrative Assistant British Council Employee Review

Pros

Paid regularly, no delays. Work schedule follows school calendar so there is a good amount of vacation days.

Cons

The management doesn’t recognize or reward talent or effort. It’s nearly impossible to get a pay raise as there are no opportunities for growth inside the company. HR is very inconsiderate of staff’s situation and avoids/ignores complaints at all costs, leaving absolutely no room for negotiation. It’s all about keeping the status quo, juicing staff to exhaustion just to save a few euros to try and increase revenue. A total disrespect with the people working there.
