"Jake Butler at Prospero Agency for the past six months. I have been provided with an outstanding service."

"Amelia at Prospero Teaching after weeks of searching for work and within hours she had secured me an interview."
"Kayur my consultant was absolutely brilliant!"
Cons:
"I had the worst experience and abuse from Naeve and Jett Naeve was even worse calling me at 8:00 on a Sunday morning they treated me badly never working with or dealing with Prospero again."
"Probably the worst agency I've ever come across! Unprofessional, disorganised clowns."
"Impossibile to actually talk to them."
"Awful experience. I've been registered with many teaching agencies, and that was the worst. They don't respond to emails, even those that are very urgent."
"An absolutely atrocious company. So many lies told by them that they could genuinely be considered to be a SCAM."
"The candidate manager Rhys started to act very unprofessional and rude, as if he is a teenager and replying vaguely."
"Consultants seem preoccupied reaching their own targets for commission and the whole experience seems very transactional and impersonal."
Communication & Responsiveness
Pros:
"Brooke is absolutely amazing. She talked me through the simple process of how to join, built a friendly relationship with me and then helped me with finding the perfect work opportunities that were catered to my needs."

"Sharon was quickly able to find me work and kept me informed of developments efficiently and professionally."
"She answered all my questions, was easy to contact, quick to respond and kept me up-to-date with the progress of my application."
Cons:
"I called 10 times and sent 15 emails in total asking to be unsubscribed from their daily irrelevant emails but they ignored me every single time."
"They send jobs that are not suitable for me anymore and they don't respect privacy."
"I have never registered with this company yet they have acquired my email and are constantly sending spam emails to me."
"I believe that one bad consultant experience should not rule out an entire agency but however, every time I attended an interview or a supply day via Prospero, the communication was some of the poorest I have received in my dealings with teaching agencies."
"They can cancel your class even if you are ready to start in the school."
"I called and was told to ring back in 5' because the consultant was on another call."
"I keep getting calls that usually finish with 'my colleague will call you' and this 'colleague' never does."
Payment & Financials
Pros:
"Booking confirmations are sent on time, the rate of pay is very good and the teaching opportunities are always varied."
"The rates of pay are competitive and you work via an umbrella group which manages your taxable income and helps you to keep track of your income."
"I’ve never had any issues with the payments either!"
Cons:
"Although I was supposed receive pay on the 28th March before Easter holidays, I’m now still waiting for payment."
"They still owe me a day's pay! Promise work, never deliver!"
"When I did get somewhere to work both days I had to chase them down to pay me."
"I wish I could rate this company 0 stars. At first, they’ll help you find a job and seem really nice. However, they don’t pay you the right amount."
"I worked for them a month ago and I still haven’t been paid."
"I haven’t worked for them for two months and they still owe me over £200."
"This company is a scam! My husband didn’t get his pay check from them for the last 7 days he work."
