Pros
My colleagues were and amazing and diverse bunch.
Cons
- No chance of progression. - Management do not understand your role, so they are no source of inspiration and could never help when there was issues. - The company can only manage short term solutions so the same issues will repeat and repeat and become so tedious. - Massive gender pay gap in my team and heard this was similar in other departments. - It was assumed you would work 7 days a week and overtime on the weekdays to make up for the poor processes put in by management and hit the unachievable targets. - No regard for how their workers felt. - This company has a very very very high turnover of staff. My team of 6 alone in a period of 18 months had 10 people leave. Many cited the poor management, low pay and lack of training as their reasons for leaving. - Had to fight for commission payments promised to us. - Targets were not achievable. Our managers would tell us this daily and discuss it openly in front of us. They then tried to change our commission so we only got paid for hitting target and couldn't understand why we were so upset at the change. - A frustrating role. No matter how many ideas you put forward to try and improve the process you were not listened too. You were then pulled into long unnecessary meetings about why things didn't work, despite spending months trying to stop the issue. - If they promise you travel within your job role - it is a lie. - If you love working long hours with 0 chance of progression and repeating yourself then this role is for you. The staff acquisition team is very good at making the role sound fun and exciting, but believe me, it is very different when you are in the office.
