Pros
The training period of 6 weeks in academy was excellent and thoroughly prepares you for taking core calls. Benefits like Bupa and pension contributions are a plus. The job itself can be repetitive but resolving customer issues is very rewarding.
Cons
Can get some really nasty customers and expected to just take it on the chin - not enough protection for frontline staff in this respect. Constantly micromanaged to the point it is detrimental to job performance and your mental health. Extremely unsociable shift patterns. Only 20 minutes break on a 9 hour shift, which you have to use any time you go to the toilet. If you go over break by a matter of seconds you are pulled up on it but can work over 15 minutes after the end of your shift and receive no overtime pay.
