      Customer Advisor Interview

      13 Mar 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cardiff, Wales
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at BT Group (Cardiff, Wales) in Feb 2018

      Interview

      Application form online, telephone interview, assessment centre. Can I start by saying what an unprofessional company. I emailed them 5 times both the main mail box and the recruitment manager but they didn't bother to reply to any of them. I was chasing a date for the assessment centre as I had been told I'd been invited to it about a month before hand. You get taken in a room and watch a couple of bt videos. Then you do a group exercise which lasts around 20 mins followed by role play. The person who carried out my role play was not even part of the recruitment team. It was obvious that he didn't know what he was doing and was just filling in for someone else. He was constantly checking his phone while doing the exercise and was not interested in anything I had to say. He Also carried out the interview and was much the same, not listening and checking his phone, he just wrote the odd word down. Do not ask any questions when they ask if you have any, they were obviously put out by anyone asking them anything. You also do some call listening and the staff member I sat with told me how much he hated working there and the other members of staff who were sat by also agreed. They said that it was the worst call centre with the worst customers they have ever worked for and dealt with. The first call I listened to was a simple call about payments the second call was the customer swearing at and abusing the agent for 5 mins before hanging up. The agent said that he deals with those calls most of the day. So all in all a very poor, unfair and uncomfortable experience. Although no job was offered I would have declined it due to the unprofessional recruitment staff and the agents opinions of the roles they are in. As a final note the gentlemen on reception giving out the security passes was filthy, I have never seen dirtier hands. This was from someone who is meeting and greeting prospective members of staff and visitors to the business. He looked like he hadn't had a bath for months.
