Pros

The company as a whole is great company. Nespresso seems to care about their employees and our environment. The perks are great and PTO.

Cons

For a customer service job that should be easy for those who have worked in retail or hospitality it is very stressful. I am not sure why, but the role is heavily scripted and you’re evaluated on this and team leaders and supervisors are very overbearing. There is a sense of a one solution for all calls with outrageous expectations. For example if someone is upset and calls upset that there order has not arrived you are trying to resolve their issue, but your expected in that same conversation to try and discuss our recycling program and try to sell product. The expectations do not make sense. You have KPI’s for sales as well. So with all of the expectations to hit every talking point during a call you have sales goals which is fine, however I don’t believe that executive leadership understands not everyone wants to be on the phone long enough to hit every talking point, yet you’re scored in this and if you don’t hit every target your team leader or supervisor will coach you as if you’re doing a terrible job. For all the expectations you’re not paid much. You’re paid a low wage and need to hit your sales targets and other KPI’s in order to earn a living wage. I don’t recommend this jobs as it doesn’t seem like a good fit. With years of experience and higher levels metrics I’m used I think Nespresso misses the target and are not utilizing that not every call is the same. This will be a reason that I would not stay long term the pressure is too much for a job that is not too complicated yet the leadership team complicates things without reason. You can have great sales and increase month over month, but you will be coached if you don’t hit all your talking points which is unfair in my opinion.

Hello Customer Service Representative, First and foremost, thank you for your review and for recognizing that Nespresso cares about its employees and our environment. We are also proud to offer a competitive benefits program and excellent perks. Our mission has always been to care for our customers, never letting one go unsatisfied. We have a contact quality framework in place to ensure a consistent brand experience that also provides customers with reassurance for future exchanges. This approach is currently the best fit for our customer’s needs, and when handling complaints, our priority is finding a solution. We appreciate your feedback, and as a care channel we can certainly revisit our upsell and cross sell approach. We will also continue to monitor our support teams for internal external quality engagements. Regarding your wage concerns, we market price all of our jobs based on the responsibilities of the role and what the cost of labor is in that geography for the specific role. We also do annual equity reviews to ensure that not only do we pay a living wage but also that we pay competitively. I would be very interested in hearing more specific feedback on the leadership behaviors and approachability, if you’re open to further discussing your concerns. This insight would be helpful for management to hear specifics surrounding the coaching perspective. Your feedback will only make us better. Pease don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly, I would welcome and appreciate it. Sincerely, Alfonso Gonzalez CEO, Nespresso North America

Pros

Great co-workers. Nice brand to have on your CV.

Cons

*Pretentious, egotistical senior management. They say they care about people but it's all talk and no action, very low EQ. *No internal progression/promotion. *They run you dry - very long working hours with no recognition. They will expect you to deliver something (e.g. presentation) for the morning when they ask for it in the previous evening. Does it actually get used for an urgent decision? No comment. *The salary levels are very low compared to similar role levels across industries. The only way to increase it is to leave the company.

New concept is horrible to work at Customers treat you like trash Management takes advantage of you You will struggle to have a social life and will be constantly exhausted Some employees will sabotage your kpi’s for their own gain which is at most maybe an extra 100-200 bucks
