Pros

Free tea and coffee. Shifts given well in advance. City centre office.

Cons

Despite saying they 'care more,' the moment you start to suffer with mental health you get shunned. You can get given a warning whilst off sick with mental health. No chance of promotion unless you kiss the backside of the floor manager. Low wages. Have to work extra hours if you get stuck on a call and you never get the time back. They say there aren't targets but there are.

Pros

Team members support and help each other. Weekends off. Set working hours. Good benefits.

Cons

Most staff want to work from home & made this clear when we were asked. Management decided everyone should be in 3 days a week regardless of wishes & call it "working smart". Talk of collaboration when in office but the workload is so intense you can't take time off phones so do the job you did at home in office with no difference. No social distancing in office. Constantly pressured to get calls answered. IT complicated.

Pros

Good benefits like paternity leave of 6 months and good to work if you don't mind repetitive work. Colleagues are nice and helpful and are happy to support you where they can.

Cons

Management. They refuse to ackowledge the demands of the job that would be inconvenient for them to work around. If work piles up or it gets busy managements first response to increase pressure on the current staff to meet the workload when often times we do not have enough staff for a moderately busy day. Recent changes are making this into a more traditional call centre job which is jot what they advertise as or promise. If you have a condition or illness that is permenant or long term with doctors notes they are happy to show you off as it strengthens their image as an inclusive employer however if you just get ill frequently or even get ill 2 or 3 times a year they will hound you to no end
