I worked for this company for close to 2 years. It started off as alright place to work but things began to go downhill after the first year. In January I had to take UNPAID leave for one day as my youngest sister was ill and unable to go to school, my Mother was out of the country therefore I could not come to work because I had to look after her. I had followed the correct procedures called in and explained the situation to a manager and had taken the day as unpaid leave. During my unpaid time off, I was called by a number of my colleagues only to be told they had been taken off the dialler (where the company makes money) one by one and taken into a meetings and quizzed about my whereabouts and was accused of going on holiday, can you imagine??? My colleagues were asked all sorts of ridiculous questions such as my social media accounts and whether I had ever discussed going on holiday. Upon my return to work I was asked to attend a meeting on 3 occasions in a dark room with no windows for hours on end in an attempt to interrogate me about my sister and was asked really intrusive and invasive information about my household. To make it worse they had googled my sisters illness and printed information about it and attempted to cross examine me with this information. They went though all that trouble for a day that they had not paid me! I guess the case was thrown out due to insufficient evidence. I few of us hit our targets and were never recognised for our excellence because we refused to do compulsory overtime while others who did an additional 100 hours a week and never managed to hit target were praised regularly. We were banned from talking, had the microwave, dishwasher, cutlery, radio and TV taken away. I was given a disciplinary for forgetting to lock my screen at the end of the day

Pros

Absolutely amazing, managers are so friendly and understanding from the L&Ds, managers, senior managers and the ceo himself. The atmosphere is fantastic, incentives are amazing and super achievable. I’ve worked for a few companies, but by far this is the best company I have stepped foot in. Everything they promised at the job interview has been delivered and much more. Amazing building, lovely teams, it’s like we’re a big family even though there is alot more than 70 people working here. What company gives you an extra day of annual leave for your birthday and a day to do Xmas shopping on top of your existing annual leave!!?? These guys do!! I actually feel so blessed to be working for this company, I have been here 4 and a half months now and can’t wait for this company to progress even further. We take pride in delivering exceptional customer service and treating our customers fairly. What else can I say, my manager is fantastic, he’s friendly, understanding and as old to the company as myself, but we are already part of the team. Looking forward to our fabulous Christmas party!

Cons

Nothing I can think of!
