⭐ Very poor experience – little to no real supportMy experience with Reed in Partnership has been extremely disappointing. I am self-employed and running my own business, so I joined Reed to gain additional support to help me grow. Unfortunately, instead of progress, I’ve been met with frustration and wasted time.From the start, I’ve been passed from person to person, forced to keep explaining my situation over and over again. There has been no continuity of support, and it feels like no one takes proper ownership of my case.Specific problems I’ve faced include:• Being made to attend a course that was completely irrelevant to me, as it was designed for jobseekers. I am not looking for a job – I am trying to grow my business.• DBS appointments that were cancelled or poorly managed. On one occasion, I waited 40 minutes in the office only to be told it wasn’t happening.• Promises of support (such as business cards, branded clothing, website/social media help, admin assistance, and even a clothing voucher) that never materialised.• Travel expenses that have not been reimbursed, which is frustrating and unfair given how careful I am with money.• Appointments not always arranged at times that suit my responsibilities, despite me clearly explaining my availability.Reed is supposed to help overcome barriers and provide meaningful, practical support. Instead, I feel like my time has been wasted and my business has not benefitted at all. What I need is consistent, tailored help to move forward – not to be treated like a number in a system.Overall, I do not feel Reed has provided the support they claim to offer.📅 Originally posted: 15 September 2025 and again last week and again today. Reed keeps removing bad reviews. Very unfair (Unprompted review)
