      Is a good choice...when you have no other choice!

      Pros

      There is a good opportunity for grads to work for big companies that they wouldn't be able to get into otherwise. If you are lucky...it can be a good career start.

      Cons

      Training is performed usually by ex trainees that had more knowledge, were not placed with a client..and VOILÁ! They become trainers (lol). Not all of them, but with some that's the case. Sales (account managers) treat you like crap (around 80% of them) - and I am saying this considering that I have a very high crap tollerance and I've always got along with them. For them you are just a puppet that must be sold to clients. Nothing more, nothing less. All the threaths about sueing that u've been reading about are true. Oh wait - all bad comments u read here are true :))) What makes me happy is to see that people are not blind! If you want to give it a try, make sure you know what you get urself into, pros and cons so you won't regret it later. Is a good choice...when you have no other choice!

      FDM Group Response
      10y
      Thank you for your comments. In response to some of your points I would like to mention that I only know of 2 trainers who were both trainees with FDM prior to becoming trainers themselves. This is out of circa 30 trainers in country. Both trainers joined FDM with great credentials, one in particular joined from an IT industry background. FDM has started the careers of over 5000 graduates over the past 8 years and I am delighted to say that a vast number of alumni have gone on to do great things. FDM continues to be voted the destination of choice by a vast number of students as listed in the 'Job Crowd' top companies to work for 2015/2016, with comments such as "Great way to kick start a career with job opportunities, training and experience that wouldn't be available anywhere else." Once again thanks for your comments and good luck in your career. I will take note of your comments and would like to wish you good luck in your career.

      DO NOT DO IT!!! - CAREER SUICIDE

      Pros

      If you're a woman, then its s good company. Used to have good clients but most banks have left them No other pros

      Cons

      once you finish training, the office will demotivate and force you to go for any job, any role and any location. if you dont take that regardless of circumstances, they'll threaten to sue you. They'll ALWAYS blame you and point the finger at you even if senior management or account managers are to blame. Help with relocation is non existent and they could tell you that you'll be at a firm for 12 months, but fdm will say that you are needed back after a month for no reason (lose house deposit) For every sick day, you lose £75 per day. They could give you a start date but they'll keep changing it until you start around a month after the original start date. Guys will be told they have interviews but they end up being removed from those lists because they are adding girls to interviews even if the girls don't match the job spec.(sexist) For 9/10 interviews, you won't have a job spec, or even know what you will be doing in that role until after your interview. Account managers see every trainee as 'walking commission'
