Pros

The people are some of the best people you'll ever meet! I found the initial training to be excellent; I entered knowing almost nothing about the healthcare industry and within 3 months I felt like a bit of an expert. FREE premium private health insurance with the company which is worth quite a bit of money on it's own.

Cons

People leave managers, not jobs, and that's especially true here. Micromanagement occurs constantly; your laptop has software which records your screen and the KPIs are set just high enough that to realistically achieve them you'd need to seriously grind every single day away. And the salary just isn't high enough for that. There's a real problem with middle management; they're called Advocate Leaders and there's no leadership or advocating happening here. Middle management will just blindly accept and enforce whatever comes from above them. Despite advertising management coaching and opportunities for advancement, make no mistake this is a dead end job, you're not going anywhere unfortunately.

Pros

My Team members were lovely, the customers were lovely. I enjoyed the work itself.

Cons

Terrible pay. Thewy advertised the position as 3 days WFH and then after commencement they announced this would change to 2 days WFH. The oofice is not easy to get to. ANother dozen people started 6 weeks later who were also advertised the same thing. They got told on thier first day. Call Centre Management is toxic with rules that are more about control and mocromanagement than theuu are about productivity or quality. Commnication is not open or honest. There are no clear career paths and no opportunities for professional development for those who might be interested. The call centre management is distant and the team leaders below are expected to pass on his rulings and police them. WHich they do with scant regard for the ldignity of thier staff.
