Pros

The people. The team leaders. Free tea and coffee. Helping to UK become debt free.

Cons

There are some colleagues who aren't happy with anything the company trys to do. No matter what they complain. It's not a con with the company it's a con with some employees thinking they deserve more, even though they knew how much their wage would be when starting and they knew the hours. They just want to moan for the sake of moaning

Pros

It's more than a job working here, the satisfaction and pride from making significant impacts to clients makes it so rewarding. Team leaders within the Review Team are down to earth, approachable, empathetic and supportive. I couldn't wish for a better Team Leader to guide me. The whole team works together, everyone is friendly, supportive and there is freedom to speak your mind to make impactful change. The focus is client experience and quality, rather than call handling time and it is very different to other phone based roles within companies. Only 2 days required in the office, the rest of the time you can work from home which is a huge benefit for work/life balance and travel costs.

Cons

Honestly, I don't have any other than I wish the pay was based on performance rather than length of service as there would be more of an incentive to excel.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you feel the role lacks flexibility, calls are long, and the pay is not as you would expect. We do have a flexible working policy in place which we have established to offer colleagues a healthy work/life balance whilst ensuring we are available to help our clients when we need them. Unfortunately due to the nature of the role, calls can be long to ensure we are thorough with the support we provide to clients, but our ongoing transformation continues to explore ways we can be more efficient, such as investing in our online service so clients can self-serve. We are also completing a review of our pay and reward package and are seeking colleague feedback as part of this, so we will take your comments on board.
