Good benefits overshadowed by horrendous micromanagement

Customer recovery agent

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

The benefits from company are good such as pay, sick pay, pension and maternity.

Cons

The micro managing is horrendous. Leaders and managers judge you and don’t do anything. Honestly no wonder high turnover and high sickness. Also progression quite difficult maybe in customer department others might be better. And also HE don’t allow you to move within unless you work for 2 years in that role even if it mentally bad for you. If not working in YW is not bad other departments are better.
