Pros

working from home that is all

Cons

jeso where to start i wouldnt normally bother with a review but the fact they offered £20 monopoly bucks oops sorry go-centric bucks for a review i couldnt resist the bribe. 1. company is a total shambles no one seems to have a clue whats happening day in day out. 2. can change campaigns with no notice or change teams with no notice, 3. holidays are almost impossible to take 4. if you have any health conditions etc good luck with that one 5. redundancy is never far away 6. communication between the top and the bottom is almost non existent till last minute 7. you will not be valued regardless how hard you work 8. progression almost impossible 9. overtime is standard pay (not a massive issue) 10. systems are outdated there is so much more but just avoid

Thank you for your review. Reviews are meant to be constructive and this has a number of concerns to me. However, I think the opportunity to discuss these with me personally will help. So many of your points I can share some insight, from the development stories this year alone, moving people into alternative / new roles as part of their progressions through development plans. This years alone I have seen 23 people progress onto new roles within quality, IT, resource planning and become some of our amazing Team Leaders. Maybe you missed the job advertisements? We value our people and now have a monthly awards session where we celebrate our people most important to us, in terms of overtime, the last few business I have worked with have all been standard pay especially in this industry. I myself devise the monthly reward sessions where we recognise so many people per campaign, no doubt you would have been invited into one of the sessions? In terms of if you have a health condition, this is the part I am most alarmed at, because as a mental health first aider myself and someone that encourages support to people, we have such a great HR team that support our people. If you do wish to discuss this matter, it can be done in confidence. Can you reach out to me on the email address below please? Yes, there could be an element of moving campaigns, and you do see that in this industry, however, you are always still an employee of go-centric, that's the important part. Hopefully we will discuss the above soon. Employee Experience Manager mark.cowen@go-centric.co.uk

Pros

Pay is ok Work from home

Cons

Constant changes to rota Too mant chiefs Kpi is the most important rather than customer Often no help for a query as everyone is busy. Team leaders are expected to work outside their contrated hours Equipment provided is often faulty. Customers often left dissatisfied due to poor system, organisation and lack of management support Constant changing of guidelines (hard to keep up)

Thank you for your feedback. Any review posted is taken seriously and I would like to cover a few points here: I will agree, like any business the targets or goals we have in place are important, however, these are in place to help us deliver a great customer experience, our customers mean the world to us. If, as an employee you didn't feel that this was the case then I'm sorry. We never encourage anyone to work outside their contracted hours, we have a WFH culture, and we always want our people to close down their laptop at the end of their shift. There may be some contracts which have change on a regular basis, however, this is in line with making sure our customers have the most up to date information, we have a variety of tools which are designed to ensure information is at hand. Our call handlers are our most important people, if it were not for them then there would be no go-centric, they are highly respected along with all the incredible clients we are privileged to work with on a daily basis. If you wish to discuss this review further then I am sharing my email address here so that you can contact me direct: Employee Experience Manger : Mark.Cowen@go-centric.co.uk
