Pros

Hardly any... but I have to write a minimum of 20 words! Horrible people work for this company. They are unethical and nasty

Cons

The management are inept, useless and childish. Easily the worst job I have ever had! Pressure from management to sell lottery tickets to elderly and unemployed people. Constant outbound calling, harassing previous players and persuading players to stay when they can't afford to.

Pros

- Good salary - Good Pension - Good company days out (two days a year) - Good product to sell - Excellent charitable work that the company undertakes and staff can volunteer at a charity a day a year

Cons

- Lack of clear communication and focus within the department, difficult to know what to focus on work wise in a given week. Also relates to getting the monthly bonus as this depends on saying specific things in a call which often change without proper briefings. - Break, Lunch and toilet breaks are timed and staff are constantly informed to keep them low (no chat at the water cooler) - Compulsory overtime with time in lieu given instead of time and a half pay. - Unsociable shift patterns - Constant pressure to sell, retain and cold call - Disciplinary for being ill more than 3 times a year - Excessive layers of management who have tick box exercises for staff feedback and often communicate in a disrespectful manner
