Pros
Great people, lots of after work nights out, good facilities in the building such as consoles/ping pong tables etc.
Cons
Little care for personal wellbeing of employees. I have seen this a few times on here and it rings true - particularly in the sales department. You are expected to stay rooted to your chair with only 16 minutes of not being on the phone allowed ALL DAY outside of your lunch and break. That includes toilet breaks etc - meaning you can get told off for going number 2. Progression opportunities are talked about a lot but are not a realistic possibility with very few positions becoming available and frequently being given to "The lads" very much a boys club culture and if you're not in the clique you've got no chance. Also shocking handling of a bereavement which led to me leaving. Asked me to come back into work the day I found out a relative was terminally ill.

Pros
Good work life balance. Amazing atmosphere in the outbound department. Managers all friendly and welcoming, very understanding. Honest people all round. Lots of perks, went to cinema to watch a film on the company. 5 weeks of intense training which prepared you for the job well. Guardian angels are people who stay with you for the first two months on the phone, so if you need help they are there instantly to help.
Cons
Long hours, constant stream of customers. This can be draining day after day. But that is what you sign up for with a call centre!

Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I'm happy to see, that overall, you enjoyed working with us :-) ...We pride ourselves on being a call centre with a difference and try to incorporate a bit of fun into work as much as possible, but understand that at times, it can still be a challenging role. We, as a HR department, are always evolving and thinking of better ways to improve our employees working lives, be it through various wellbeing activities to improved benefits. Linzi

Pros
It is a good place to work. The environment they strive to create is one that makes it enjoyable to come to work in the morning (even if the job is somewhat [read: very] repetitive.)
Cons
Unless you're on a good team with a manager who cares about you and doesn't just want you to hit your marks so they get paid then you'll hate it. Not much training being offered after nearly 2 years with the company.

Keep an eye on our internal job postings and take note of any specific skills that you will need to work on in order to be eligible to apply for these. We hope this helps, but please talk to your manager or come see someone in People Services if you'd like to talk further about your career development.

Pros
I have been encouraged to move around the company to find the most suitable job, where I can make the biggest difference. This has taken 10 years but it's been worth it. I have been able to earn recognised qualifications whilst doing my job. The opportunities are here to gain everything from language skills to degree level qualifications. The share scheme over the years has been a brilliant thing for me, adding real change to my life If you want to get on and make a difference you can. I started 10 years ago on the phones and have worked my way up to the level I am now. It's been hard work but well worth it. The atmosphere is great and love coming to work with the people here. It crazy but great
Cons
Hours can be long Travelling to the centre of Cardiff is a nightmare
