Pros

The salary is paid on time

Cons

I worked at Fregolino for about six months. Right from the selection process I understood that there was something strange. During the interview, on one hand the two supervisors were keep saying they had gained a very high professional background constantly underling my young experience and need to learn from them. On the other hand, the interview with the director was unprofessional. He started talking about football, travel and making few inappropriate jokes. The first weeks in the office went quite well. After this period the two supervisors changed attitudes and started acting weird. They were forbidding the use of the printer reserved for everyone and the needs of the office, even if a block notes or a highlighter was needed it was necessary to request well in advance and we were often told to arrange with what we had because would have been difficult make an order. The most serious aspect, however, consisted in adding additional tasks to those included in the contract (such as Italian - English translation services and which had not been mentioned in the interview phase). Obviously all this without even a salary increase. The two supervisors acted without anyone's control. They constantly showed no experience and this was making deep nervousness and discontent in the group. While the others employees were forced to do even extra tasks besides the contractual terms, the two supervisors were totally taking care of their business arriving to the office 1 or 2 hours late, just chatting all the time and using of his colleagues to carry out any type of activity that they should have done. They were constantly underlining that they were the bosses and in total control of the office so bullying the newly hired by imparting to them the life-style lessons. Beside that, one of them was often bringing his personal laptop to the office working on his own business during his shift. Both of them used bad words and took completely inappropriate confidences with all employees. In short, on charge of this company I have found two people who revealed themselves as absolutely inadequate in managing even a small group of about ten people. They enjoyed unjustified benefits in relation to other employees such as extra vacation days and did overtime even when not needed just to accumulate days off. Among all of this, the general director only came to the office once and never took care to receive feedback from all pf us. Company definitely to avoid just because of the two supervisors that make the environment extremely tense and toxic, creating a continuous uneasy situation. No benefit for employees.

Pros

meet new people , location not far from city center

Cons

I worked for Fregolino for about a year and a half. Absolutely negative experience. The working environment is very toxic. The two supervisors are completely inadequate to fill the position. They have no capacity in manage a small group of people. They enjoy unjustified benefits. One of them has a bipolar character and alternates moments of euphoria with moments of absolute mental imbalance. Just because he got a phd he believes he is a god who went down to earth. He has no ability to interface with other employees loosing control very easily. The other supervisor is a person who is unable to express what he really thinks. Has a double face and is absolutely unable to manage a group. He panics at the first difficulty even being in charge of a group which hasn't any kind of kpi and working goal to score. The management is therefore made up of two people who are unable to interface with employees, indeed very often they are authors of bullying. In this company there is no neutral body capable of protecting employees. the general manager, in fact, comes once every four months and does not even know the names of his employees. He is totally disinterested in corporate dynamics. Company absolutely to be avoided as the two supervisors make the climate super toxic.

Pros

Payment is without delay. The building is very elegant and wide. During the afternoon or evening shift you can sit down at your desk and do whatever you want at the PC given that phone calls are very rare. You can find some friends among other employees for a pint in the pub.

Cons

Payment is very poor also for a call center. You only speak Italian at the phone and all other employees are from Italy, then you will even forget the english language. The atmosphere is extra-toxic. Supervisors are constantly bullying employees. No benefits.
