Pros

Good, central location. Round the corner from Holborn station and shops.

Cons

I only did two shifts at this company. My first shift was ok as I was given a straightforward survey to conduct because the other new starters hadn't turned up for the new project briefing(no surprise). The next day was awful. A small group of us were quickly 'briefed' on a survey about asbestos. There was no help or support and the the supervisors were very impatient. Halfway through the shift I still hadn't got one survey and was warned by the supervisor that I would be sent home if that didn't change. I repeatedly asked for more help on how to approach the survey as a new starter but I was told that I should be able to do it alone. By the end of the shift I had just one survey and felt totally dispirited. I left that day and never went back. I would avoid this company at all costs. The pay was terrible, just £7.29 p/h which was extremely low for London wages, the offices were run down and dingy and the supervisors refuse to help you.

Terrible, exploitative

Pros

They have a roof. You can make your own schedule (to an extent)

Cons

Antiquated software and equipment. Typical British conditions (on a cold day wear you coat at a desk). The premises are a bombed out building. All of this would be bearable if they paid a competitive rate and employed competent management. As it is, the turnover is high (mainly high school kids and millenials). The staff are bullies bordering on psychopaths, making up for their own inadequacies. They could hold on to skilled staff, but in this environment, they won't retain anyone like that. Nor do they show any apparent interest in this. I can't speak for the board but the fact that this is the management they put in place is telling. I wouldn't trust their research as far as you could throw it as coercion and a 'hard-sell' are the order of the day. Have worked in most call centers in London and this ranks as one of the worst among a dodgy bunch.
