Shocking behaviour towards patients

Pros

It pays the bills. It gets you out of the house. Meh that's about it.

Cons

The strategy is one of greed, and power, They call patients endlessly about a sale, or to change their pathways, or to tell them something. They call up deceased patients In order to meet their ridiculous KPIs They get patients to go to sales spiel meetings They change the pathway a patient is on despite not being medically trained, nor the patients clinician The clinicians utterly despise Atos, and their patients are leaving Countrywide in droves. They sacked two staff who had been there over 20 yrs, for no reason other than to palm off their workload onto the reps. They are an abhorrent company who have no idea how the NHS works, and they use their Coloplast model where it does not work, and ignore everyone telling them this. money money money, must be funny! The managers are mentalists too, exceptional bullies, who install fear into everyone, they outwardly lie about you in front of colleagues and other senior managers. But the tide will change, and you'll go under. Cant wait. If anything good is written on this page, then please don't believe it the managers wrote it! Run a mile away right now!

Pros

Feel free to swear as much as you like and get away with it. (If that’s your thing) Some career progression (read below - in cons -for more info) The new HR system is great. Easy, simple. Holiday requests are no problem and all info is easily obtained. Higher management are actually very approachable. Incredibly so. Corina has turned the business around and made the atmosphere so much better - she deserves more credit.

Cons

Firstly, the previous excellent review was clearly made by a manager. Don’t believe everything it says. Even managers swear like crazy and use words that you never expect to here from management. Yes, there is “Career progression” but in actual fact it’s just the management changing things up (changing your job title or department) to look like progression when in actual fact nothing really changes it’s just an act to make it look like there’s some sort of development going on. That brings another issue to the surface. They are so unwilling to try and fix things and listen to staffs advice properly that it creates devastating consequences. Management had been told numerous amounts of times that there was not enough data. This caused the same patients to be hounded by phone calls constantly. Example: Regardless of being told there isn’t enough data, staff were(still sometimes are) told they HAVE to keep the “connected call” numbers up... That caused desperate staff members under stress to repeat the same calls to the same patients, harassing them with what must have seemed like a pressuring sales call to the patients.

Pros

The very select few may get a chance to travel... most of you will be promised the opportunity when you go for the job... but they won’t actually follow through on that promise. It’s all BS You can swear openly in the office and call each other whatever you like - no one really has and regard or respect for each other. Yes... they even call each-other the C word... a lot... The head of the company, Corina is lovely. You couldn’t ask for a nicer and more understanding person to run the company. It’s just a shame that managers and ego maniacs ruin it. Perhaps she can be too trusting of her head of departments as they openly take her help, support and patience for granted a lot of the time.

Cons

If you can’t be bothered to read all of this, just know that accepting a job at Atos/ Countrywide will be the biggest regret of your life. If you like listening to one of the managers plan her wedding every day at her desk, then go ahead... she does more wedding planning than her actual work... yet the customer services team get told off for taking too long in the print room!!!! Absolutely no real structure at all No consistency Lack of support (the managers pretend to be supportive when they need to, but honestly... you’re on your own... often thrown into the deep end... expected to fail... People back stab each other constantly You WILL be the subject of monumental office gossip at some point You can’t trust ANYONE No teamwork at all... everyone’s out for themselves You will be forced to harass patients to please your managers or head of departments if you’re in the call team You will be shouted at by patients for harassing them No matter what you say to your managers, they promise change, but that change will never come You will see that people who brown nose get very far ... If you aren’t a brown noser and actually have morals... people treat you like **** You are constantly clock watching There’s never enough patients to actually ring Or enough reasons to call them You will often call for a patient who has died and have to deal with the backlash of the family because they’ve already told someone at the company and they haven’t noted it down The managers are a joke... my it’s split into two sides north and south areas but there’s still crossing over and no actual consistency so you never know what you’re doing as they change it all the time People leave and you’re left to pick up their jobs and the mess You will get treated like rubbish Lots of empty promises Hypocrisy Lies Just... don’t do it
