Pros

I am really enjoying the training and support that I have recieved so far. It has been extremely professional from the first stage of recruitment, through to meeting the sales team and being put forward to opportunities. I feel as though the entire company is very well integrated and I am excited by the new prospects of working all around the UK. There are also chances to work further afield with opportunities becoming available in South Africa and the Asian Pacific. Even though the training is unpaid, it gives me a competitive edge on other graduates and would cost me a lot more time and effort if I did not have it.

Cons

To me, the training seemed like a step up from university and I had to sometimes ask a lot of questions to fully understand what I was learning.The current offices are slightly small, but we are moving to what looks like an incredible new location.

Pros

They have some good sales people, they even talked me into signing up, so they definitely know what they're doing. Also good that we have access to Glassdoor, so that we can actually communicate with management without being summarily dismissed for rocking the rapidly sinking boat.

Cons

Still waiting to be signed off so that I can move on with my career, which will be a darn sight better than being paid NOTHING while waiting for jobs because they don't have any. Sorry, I mean waiting for my skills to be at the required level - yeah, right!

Pros

Low bar to acceptance Central Location A qualification at the end of 'training' Possibility that temporary placement could lead to a permanent position

Cons

Far from certain to get a placement - despite initial promises when you first contact them/they contact you No guarantee - if you do get a placement - of the quality of the job Pay very poor - You sign away at least 2 and a half years sometimes 3 for total pay of less than 45k over your stay. You have to relocate ( sometimes more than once ) and try to live on this At the end of your 2 years work with FDM - you cannot approach any of their 'clients' looking to get a job ( unless you want to pay FDM a hefty fee ) Ultimately the whole scheme is set up to take and exploit as much as possible from people
