Approves of CEO
I have been working at O2 full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Management that back you and want you to succeed, a rare bend of people who are super smart but also personable and I've got to work an incredible project that's challenged me to stretch every day.
Cons
I genuinely love this place - I waited a year to post to check it wasn't new joiner enthusiasm and it's not. I have no cons to give.
Advice to Management
Keep that culture that empowers people and allows them to feel they can succeed. Love all the forward thinking HR policies too.
What a lovely review to come in to on a Monday morning. Fantastic to see that you are having a great experience working for us and that it is still continuing and not new joiner enthusiasm - love that. Thanks for being part of the team and keep up the good work.... MoreLess
I have been working at O2 full-time (More than a year)
Pros
I've work for O2 for nearly two years now and the learning adn development they offer is amazing, there is always something new to learn using the tools we are given. The pay and benefits that come with the job are good as well, plus they give a great work-life balance and also felexible working, if travelling, usually you will be given your time back depending on how busy your calendar is. Would 100% recommend O2 to a friend.
Cons
I don't think there are any cons for working at O2.
Thank you so much for such a positive review. We are glad you feel you have a work-life balance and that we give you the tools to develop and learn within our company. We are really pleased you would recommend O2 to a friend.... MoreLess

I worked at O2 part-time (More than a year)
Pros
As well as all the benefits you get alongside o2, they’re a company who are interested in you progressing with your future, with o2 or not. University always came first and my manager would back me all the way. They are flexible, and there’s not too much pressure to sell, they just want you to do your best and progress.
Cons
Only downside in my store was there wasn’t much overtime, but that’s just because everyone would attend shifts
I'm glad that you feel O2 was a company that looked after you and you had a manager who understood that your education was important. It's a shame about the overtime, but you obviously worked within a good team! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate it and good luck with everything in the future....
