Pros
They a had a good manager but decided to lose them to make room for a ‘friend’ who accepted redundancy less than eight months previous. The position wasn’t even advertised. I left immediately after as it soon became apparent that she was an aggressive bully who has little if any understanding of supported employment.
Kontras
So many, Remploy are quick to push out their core values on to staff yet completely unable to abide by them from the top down. Numbers are primary and not those needing the support, staff are bullied openly and divided if they challenge management. I bumped into the Oldham branch manager, having nipped in to discuss referrals. I was met with a frosty reception from Cara, who demanded to know who I was and why I hadn’t booked an appointment. As a supposed partner, I was gobsmacked at how rude and unprofessional she was, co sidering I was trying to bring business their way. The member of staff was horrified and apologetic on her behalf. I really feel for the staff that sadly remain.
