Paragon Group (UK) Ltd

This organisation is not recommendable for vegetarians! According to this organisation the only option for staying with a host family is to pay 5E extra for a vegetarian dinner per day in addition to the regular fee. But actually, all the 10-20 people staying with the same family ate several times a week a vegetarian meal for dinner, so I was the only one paying more for the same meal.

And even on days when the others ate meat, I sometimes got the same plate without it, which would be even less expensive. So, for me this is not a way to compensate the extra expenses of the family, but a really rude and impudent way for Paragon to make more money! When I contacted them about this topic, my mail was ignored for weeks! That shouldn't be a criticism of the host family, but of this organisation. The family was wonderful and the food extremely tasty.

The Paragon model is designed only to make money, which means that the quality of the study abroad experience for language students and interns suffers tremendously. Some host families are a real nightmare and Paragon makes no effort to assign you to a new one.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Value Nadia and Anton are very unproffesional and impolite. They have no patience for their employees and are capable of wasting hours of your time. Their English is atrocious and they keep using words they seem to think are complicated in the wrong context attempting to sound clever. Do not work with them

I worked at Paragon for 4 Weeks and it was awful. Malta is beautiful but if you wanna do an internship, dont do it with Paragon. They don't care about you. The flat where I lived was dirty and we had no wifi. The internship itself was just a joke. I did one "task" for 4 weeks. All the interns just watched movies or listened to music because we knew that they will never look after what we are doing. Paragon just wanna earn money with all the interns and nothing more.

They keep spamming my email after I asked multiple times to be removed from their scammy email mailing list. I never even consented to be added to their mailing list, they just added it after an email exchange. btw the name of one of only 5 star reviews here matches the name that i get spam email from.

Actually, zero stars. Bad to no care. In case of emergencies there is no reaction or you are simply blocked. Requests are not answered. I cannot recommend it. As long as Paragon Europe gets money, everything is okay, but they don't care about you at all. Totally unorganized. Do not recommend it Various personnel of Paragon entered without warning the apartment and the rooms. The employees don't care if you sleep, are naked, etc. No privacy.

Worst agency i've ever seen. Very impolite and unprofessional. You'll pay a lot of money for an old appartment with bad showers, no AC, bad beds etc. You can find good apartments in Malta much cheaper and incredibly better.

Paragon a disgrace company; I relocated from Belgium to Malta and no contract has followed the itinerary, always Nadia Theuma has an excuses to prevent the contract to be signed. Finally after three interviews I arrived in Malta to work and she told me I am not good for the company and she told me the contract will be ready when the company decides.

It was my second day of work and she humiliates me, she really treated me as a DOG and she starts saying how many diplomas she has and how badly is my cv; I think the authorities must to know what kind of company is Paragon. I have no other choice than to walk out the door. Nadia Theuma is a woman fully of complexities, she is not happy on her skin and she has makes me to relocated from a country, I have payed on my expenses to arrive to work with all my dignity, offering the best I can and Paragon said: You are too bad for us, but may we will give you a "single chance", that was her words.

I have done contract work for Paragon Europe over a year and half ago, ending around October 2017. The work spanned over a couple of months, where half way through I asked for payment and refused to continue working. They delivered and payed quite quickly due to the fact that I was going to stop working. Following this I finished off the project and remained with an outstanding bill - which until today has not been paid for.

I have been reaching out to them numerous times, calls and emails. Rarely receiving a response, when a response was received it was to either say the payment needs to be approved by management and should be delivered shortly or your cheque will be at you by next week. They were also very careful to never respond to emails and thus I cannot prove their responses. Weeks and Months have gone by and now I am chasing them almost daily with no response. Anyone looking to engage with this company, be careful as it doesn't seem that they can be trusted when it comes to being paid.

I had experience myself the Paragon experience, very pricy and lack of communication with the student. I was leaving to Malta in a week and they didn't give me any details regarding accommodation nor placement location. Once I was there I found out I was placed in an area on the middle of nowhere and my placement was about 30 minutes by bus, very convenient. the company was a Maltese company where no one spoke a word in English so I asked them to find another company for me. which they didn't reply so i had to speak to my manager and told them what my intentions were.

Now I'm seeing that they keep doing the same plus they changed the price of the original quote that was provided months ago Anyway, I really think they must improve a lot Elena
