Pros

Friendliest colleagues I have ever come across. Very Multicultural learn a lot from people around you.

Cons

Horrible hours, Treated like children business updates make you feel like they care about the customer service colleagues when they really dont. Terrible pay considering they want you to be available from early early morning till really late at night every single day. If i knew it was going to be like this i would of never joined the company many people feel this way also. Cant wait to get a new job where i can actually live a normal life and see friends and family. Try to amend your work schedule and they will find anyway to not let you. Seems as though if you work a fountain street its a good place to work. Ian Brown seems like a genuine person who has real goals for the company but the way customer service agents are made to feel i honestly dont think he knows whats happening at the lowest level.

Hi and thank you for your review. Although I am clearly disappointed that you feel the way you describe, I am grateful for the feedback so we can continue to work on getting better. I can assure you that we do care about all of our colleagues and fully appreciate that you and your team mates are the ones dealing with our customers everyday. Clearly we are a 24/7 business and do need colleagues throughout the day and at weekends. This would have been explained at your interview. However, this should still allow for an appropriate balance. I would ask you to pick up any specific concerns with a member of the People Team or email me directly. Thank you Ryan
