Pros
Very little. If you hit lucky then you could be laughing but I was in a group of 30 and 27 of us landed the exact same role and the role was nothing like promised. We work in a call centre, answering phones all day to people who forgot their passwords. We had absolutely no say in the matter, it was very much "you should be thankful you have a job" type of vibe. Honestly please just avoid at all costs!!
Cons
Where to begin ... 1) 7 weeks unpaid training ... literally "teaching" you how to write emails ... and then claim it to be worth £20k! 2) trainers are inadequate - put you through a bunch of silly scenarios which i was willing to tolerate to get the great job they promised us ... had I known I'd be in a call centre then I would have been out at minute one. 3) once you're placed with a client they are impossible to get in touch with - honestly don't try, ive given up now. 4) oh if you've got a dentist app. Or something and you miss half a day then they won't pay you your day rate ... not even half of it. 5) you get about 4 contracts i your first 3 months with them so trying to keep up with was your rights / pay /obligation is is impossible... wouldn't be bad thing if you could contact someone but good luck with that. For a company who spends 1 full week teaching email "etiquette" they sure like to not reply to emails. 6) at the end of the day, fdm are there to get money (no issues with that) but it means that when it comes to a placement you have no choice. So if you have an interview as a project manager assistant on Wednesday and fdm get a formal offer from TSB tech now centre on Tuesday then you will be given that, even though you wanted the PMA role, you'd enjoy it more, would advance your career etc. 7) Im literally stuck answering phones to people who are IT illiterate for 9hrs a day which has nothing to do with my degree, nothing I want to do in the future and is absolutely not remotely challenging in the slightest...
