Pros

Agile working. One or two lovely colleagues.

Cons

Really bad level of respect for the customer service team. You are just a number. Terrible management. You’re interviewed at one stage by the head of customer service. You start the job and she’s no where to be seen. Managers and senior managers pass all the baggage onto ‘buddies’ so CX team members have to still hit their stats, whilst being dedicated to a new member of staff, plus not receiving any extra pay or incentive. When I left an email was sent to the whole company to say I was leaving and why. It was completely made up. Raised with HR, and just got a sorry and they acknowledged that I hadn’t had any knowledge or input, but the email was already sent. Tails will continue to have a huge staff turn over unless the structure changes.

I am sorry to hear that this is your experience - it’s not what we want or expect. We’ve taken this feedback and I have looked into each of the elements you raised. Our CX team is one of our largest teams, and it is extremely important and valued within our business and amongst our customers. Some of your points refer to a period of time last year where we were understaffed. This wasn’t something we wanted, and we’ve worked hard to ensure it is no longer the case and that the team is well run and supported by strong managers. It is true, we encourage individuals who have the appetite to take advantage of development opportunities in CX and also across the tails.com business; we also ensure they are fairly rewarded financially. Thank you for your feedback - it was important for me to look into this and have the confidence that we have taken the necessary action. I wish you all the best in your next role. Thanks, Henrik Head of People

Pros

Working for a company offers steady income, benefits, and a built-in team, along with structure and chances to grow your skills and career.

Cons

Working for a company offers steady income, benefits, and a built-in team, along with structure and chances to grow your skills and career. On the flip side, you trade away some control over your time and decisions, deal with office politics and bureaucracy, and face limits on flexibility and earning potential. It’s a balance of security and structure versus autonomy and upside.
