Pros

Office space is nice, coffee machine, free fruit, I have gained more experience and met a few nice people.

Cons

The environment is full cliques with management who you cannot confide in. The management will not keep your information confidential and everyone will know your business. You do not know who can trust because of this, which makes the work environment terrible and no one is really a team. The training they offer is minimal to none with the expectation to get on with things and not cause any issues. When you come into the office you are required to sign in on a tablet and when you leave to sign out which there can sometimes be a queue for at the end of the day. They advertised a lot of their roles as hybrid roles however they will refuse you to work from home unless they deem fit. They want people in the office to micro-manage them because there is no trust at all. You will need a serious reason to have to be allowed to work from home and they will be very hesitant to let this be a regular thing if it doesn't need to be. You are expected to sit at your desk all day and be constantly tracked on how many calls you take, like a call centre. You will be tracked on the amount of calls you make and be expected to meet certain phone call targets. When you go away from your desk you must specify on your system why i.e for the toilet or lunch and if you go over your time limits your managers are notified of this. You are penalised if you are a few minutes late here or there and are expected to be at work early with no extra pay and to say later if there is a customer on the phone past 5pm with no extra pay. If you want to be appreciated for you as a person then MPL is not the place, you are a number - you do not matter to them and they will show that you especially by the pay and the stigma they put on everyone by making people afraid to talk about their salaries.

Pros

The only pro is that starting out at this company gives you the experience to leave and go somewhere better, where you are appreciated more Training was ok

Cons

The pay is awful. You have to literally beg & beg management for a pay rise just to be told it’s being looked into and then nothing comes of it. Essentially operates as a call centre , where you’re on calls constantly all day which is incredibly stressful & you get very little support from management when dealing with difficult situations. You suggest ideas to make everything better for the team but these don’t get listened to whatsoever Several people had to be signed off sick with stress due to the nature of our job and the way the company runs Very gossipy environment amongst management No progression unless you’re in a close knit group with management, promotions aren’t offered based on performance and skills

Pros

Not many to be honest, unless you count the coffee machine? But I think that's pretty basic.

Cons

I have mixed feelings about my time at MPL. From my perspective, there are some aspects of the company that may not be ideal for everyone. For example, while the company promotes hybrid working, it didn't always feel like there was flexibility in practice. In my experience, there was also a disconnect between the stated policies and how they were implemented on the ground. When it came to career progression, I personally felt that promises of promotions or pay raises were often unfulfilled. It was frustrating to see others, including myself, working hard with little recognition, especially when tasks outside of my job description were expected, but not acknowledged. During my time there, I also got the sense that communication could be... selective—while personal information seemed to circulate easily, getting the right work-related information was sometimes difficult. It felt like there was a bit of a disconnect within the team on that front. Additionally, I did have some concerns about the company's surveys. While they were presented as being anonymous and encouraging honest feedback, I found that in some cases, people who provided their opinions were called in for follow-up conversations. To this day, I’m unsure of whether the survey results were ever shared transparently. It's also worth mentioning that I did notice many individuals leaving the company during my time there. This led me to wonder whether the company was fully aware of what might be driving this turnover and whether the internal culture was a contributing factor. Lastly, from my perspective, the work environment sometimes felt competitive and gossipy, and I found it difficult to trust that internal issues were always handled transparently or fairly. These are just my personal reflections, and your experience may differ.
