Report
1 star is too high. I was approached with a job offer. I took the job ( which was a shambles from the start. ). After a couple of weeks, I called to say that the job was not for me, winners said they will get back to me and run through other opportunities which they didn't. A short while after starting, I got my qualifications upgraded and told the winners rep. She pulled me aside and said Do not tell the company.
They were not happy as this may require a finders fee refund. ( Well excuse me for being a person and not a number ). When I handed in my notice for this company as they underpaid me, stung me on call out rates, etc. I chased up winners, they covered their backsides very quickly and said the job advert with the claims came from the employer.
