Poor salary and mismanagement

They were paying too less with very less benefits and they were unable to controll thier QA for accurate quality management on the other hand QA use to threaten people who gives a reversal on thier work. So thiet was no work ethic.

Pros

Provident fund

Cons

Bad QA

Interview was good. But this is a part time job no secure future

This is well reputed organisation but no employee job confermation. Although it has a professional working environment but its finance department is totally un understandable. Payments some times sent very late. But we learnt very much here and feel good working environment here

Pros

May be career oriented.we want to be a perminant employee of this reputed organisation

Cons

No facilities

very helpful experience

The British Council is not a government organisation.It is a charity that pretends to be an arm of the British Government.my experience is really good

Pros

You increase the chances of having someone that fits the profile you usually are more easygoing with

Cons

you have to get more signatures when you file your dissertation.

Freelancing job

Its not a permanent job but it gives you good experience of handling strees and dealing with people. It also makes you punctual because its an exam conducting service and an exam should always start and finish on time.

Well-reputed international organization

British council is organization specializing in international cultural and educational opportunities.I worked here as a freelancer along with my job so,I got a chance to improve my knowledge and increase my learning abilities.I understood and apply detailed written instructions,while maintaining accuracy and attention to details.I was able to maintain confidentiality.I also learnt to concentrate and work quickly under pressure for several hours at a time and used initiative in response to unexpected situations.It was easy job to do,with comprehensive guidance,decent environment with utmost care and pay rate is good.My colleagues were helping and friendly.Flexible timings and Supervisors are extremely helpful in Pakistan.

Personally having very bad experience. Never recommend someone to spoil their time .

If you want to work with them then you just have to forget about the sellary...I have just done their several sessions but till now did not get my sellary they are not going to response any of your emails or queries ... They said that they have their so called name and profile and not going to compromise over it but they treat their employees badly .... Totally favouritism base. They didn't even allow you to sit during the exams....like if you are working their for 5 hours you are a human or Robots that you can not even sit.... Personally having very bad experience. Never recommend someone to spoil their time .

Good quality of services

I had a great time with British Council as a venue staff. It depends on the person how they work in pressure or relaxation. I have learnt a lot that we should pay attention on our work only.

Productive work place but untrained management

I have found many problems at venue that seniors did not have any knowledge about safety and security. Also some administrative and management issues I registered but still not receiving any response on my request. Anyway the Staff in Pakistan is untrained and only have peace of paper that use for announcement and also to organise the venue.
