Schoolsplus are attempting to remove my review. I recently wrote a review purely highlighting my experience working for schoolsplus for 2 years. All of which I had written was purely factual and can be backed up by ample mounts of WhatsApp messages, call logs to unanswered calls & texts, emails which were not responses to and threatening messaging on the group chats. Schoolsplus have contacted trustpilot in attempt to have my review taken down for ‘defamatory content’. Everything which I have noted can be supported by evidence which I have also contacted trustpilot myself to provide upon request. As previously mentioned Schoolsplus does not value the confidently of their employees to any means, which is why I will not be contacting them directly as they have asked to do so. I am more than happy to provide any supporting evidence to trustpilot in order for them to validate my review and raise the question as to how the management system of the company operates. The HR person of the company more than often supported the disappointing behaviour of the area managers and the team leaders, i am not sure if it the same person now as it was a few months ago but there was no use going to them as the lack of support often made you feel worse and any issues would often be met with a threat of ‘disciplinary action’ or encouragement to resign. Working at Schoolsplus heavily impacted my mental heath with ongoing anxiety before every shift due to the lack of security on site (I worked in quite a remote site & was more than often left alone) as well the constant disregarding when raising issues while working alone. Many past employees have unfortunately shared similar experiences to me while working at Schoolsplus most of whom have now resigned and try not to recall their time working with the company. Many of the reviews left by employees are ones which have been cohered to do so by those higher up as this was also what I was told to do while working with them, to receive bonuses, mentions in the newsletters and slightly better treatment from those above for a short amount of time, which often felt worth it after the endless torment. I am purely writing this review to warn other staff members or customers of the treatment within Schoolsplus, as I wish someone had done for me before I had joined them. For those wondering why I had stayed for as long as I did, I cannot tell you entirely but when I first joined although the company was still disorganised there were venue managers who seemed to genuinely care for the staff, and during that time I built connections with customers, teachers, the school and came to enjoy the job itself. However, once many venue managers left and the shift to only area managers and team leaders was made the management completely shifted, the unsettling treatment began but as I had already been there for a while it was difficult to up and leave. However it had eventually reached a point where no one with any self respect should stay in such an environment which is when I decided to give in my notice. I hope Schoolsplus reflects upon this review and realises a threat based management system followed by arrogance and a clear hierarchy with terrible treatment of those below them will never establish healthy long term connections within a business world. I have heard of more employees joining & leaving them than I ever had in any other work place. This also concedes with why they are often losing so many contracts with schools nationwide, I am sure any school which genuinely looks into the treatment and behaviours of the company would not want them to be linked to them and enable responsibility to their premises.
