Pros
Good salary, people are great to work with, quarterly award nights with free drinks.
Cons
Company cutting cost, trying to performance manage everyone out, so they dont make any redundancies. However, they have cut jobs and taken them overseas, the customers know this, and complain about how dumb the offshore employees are. The offshore staff will randomly transfer customers across to another departments , and the customer will say "are you someone knew, i was on hold and they other agent was getting... back to me". The offshore cannot complete simple things and always have to waste customers time. Enjoy angry customers Origin because of how dumb the staff you have employed overseas.

Stop micromanaging your staff, especially ones that get you the sales. We're humans, not robots, if we want a minute break after a call let us have one. train your staff well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough and they wont want to. But happy to move to another rival company

Pros
- “Some” nice, kind, normal people
Cons
- Team Leaders are bullies!!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn’t have anxiety before started. On permanent Anxiety medication because of this company. - Human Resources are ruthless and cruel. HR and team leader; conflict of interest... even if they did wrong... YOU are wrong and will pay. - Cliques. You just won’t fit. Just like high school. - Team leader great at telling you one thing, then says another and you get yelled at... for doing what they asked first. - Talk up career progression like it really happens... nope. - NO work/life balance whatsoever. Bring it up with them, they don’t care. - The whole place is a con.

Pros
In my first year at the company it was actually bearable to work there, made great friends and the workplace culture was good. Pay is decent enough. Flexible working arrangements are easy to set up. Modern offices.
Cons
In my second year at the company everything went downhill, upper management have run the business into the ground and have no concerns about the wellbeing of their loyal staff . Staff mentally exhausted from dealing with problems that they have no power to change. And being yelled at by customers day after day is no way to live. No support offered or action taken when I disclosed sexual harassment by a colleague -... it was humiliating enough even having to speak to management about that. Redundancies, jobs being sent overseas and no job stability is the icing on the cake. This business truly sucked the life out of me.
