Axcis Reviews Summary

Pay & Rates

Pros:

• "They were able to get me into a job very quickly and on half term and school breaks, they got me something else which paid me about the same as my regular job."
• "Great daily rate with weekly pay!!"
• "They got lots of work to choose from and above all the payslips are all done online."
• "Pay rates are good too!"

Cons:

• "I thought I could have been more clearly told about the role and the pay: I was told my starting Daily rate would be £80 a day but it was actually £78."
• "Most wages at Axcis is £70 a day. In fact, they deduct a lot so it’s like £55-60 a day."
• "Anna quoted me a rate of £90 for work at St. Tomases school as a teaching assistant only to tell me that the rate is actually £75."
• "As a general rule you shouldn’t settle for anything less than £100 - it’s a hard job and schools do pay this money just less money should go to the agency pockets and more so to the quality of the staff that works there."
