Pros

Colleagues within the CS team are nice Generally and personally the people are nice, but ''its business'' and management will throw you under to get ahead, meet targets and SLA's - can't really trust them to have your best interests as you are 'disposable'

Cons

-Micro-management (no trust) -Treated like a child -CS employees given no voice eg. ''you have to do this because we say so, no questioned asked'' -No transparency (don't explain why changes are being made) -Unrealistic Multitasking - You are expected to take a phone call, live chat and respond to emails all at the same time - all without having any wrap time in between calls (actually impossible) - otherwise you get in trouble -Angry Customers -Bad communication between teams (not approachable) -CS treated like the scum of the company -No benefits for CS - no sick pay (whereas other employees outside of CS get this) -Short staffed so they squeeze as much work out of you as they can -Working for this company (in customer service) is actually depressing and makes you feel depressed and dread coming to work. - You have to work late shifts and most (if not all) weekends. Rota is not structured enough to plan your life -So many little system bugs that stop you from doing your job - Second line (NOC) staff don't do any work at all and no one manages/monitors their KPI's - resulting in CS taking the brunt of the angry customers

Wifinity Response

Thank you for your review. I'm glad to hear that you found the team enjoyable to work with. We're pretty proud of the skills, abilities and friendliness of our CS team. You have called out numerous concerns. Firstly, I want to say that we hear these and I have shared this post with our senior leadership team. As a member of that team myself, I spent a morning recently on the floor with CS listening to the types of calls being received. As I said to the team members when I listened in to one particular call that still required a technical solution, it is heartbreaking for us to not be able to solve a customer's issue and get first time resolution every time. We fully appreciate that there will be times when a customer may not be happy or may even be angry. We will continue to prioritise work to get the greatest outputs for our customers, aiming to make each contact a positive one. In relation to communications, in the past months structured KPIs were introduced/communicated for CS and for many these were received happily as it demonstrated standards that people could work towards. We will continue to work on our communications. The most concerning comment for me is that you believed that CS is treated differently. Everyone at Wifinity works hard. In relation to benefits, all permanent employees (including myself) have the same sick leave provisions. I am unsure if you were permanent or zero hours so perhaps that may have impacted your response. Whilst we have different departments, we are one team. I would hope that everyone felt that way and I'll be keeping my ears open when I next spend time on the phones with CS in January. Whilst Wifinity may not have been the right place for you this time around, I do wish you well in your next endeavour.

Pros

Flexible working (hybrid, remote etc). Management were mostly supportive, kind and encouraging when I was there - Alicia, Emma, Stacey, Option for 4 day working week which was great Bonuses for CSA team Very forward thinking workplace One of the best workplace cultures I experienced tbh Good onboarding and training Nice area at the time (Kingston) Fun, relaxed environment Great team, with lots of banter

Cons

Tbh this was my own problem, but I felt I wanted to do something different in the end, and this led to me feeling a bit demotivated, I was experiencing mental health issues as well (anxiety) and in retrospect could've managed this better and conducted myself better, towards the more senior members of the team. Perhaps some more support of this, I recall when I went to meditate/relax downstairs there was a bit of confusion and judgement about this, that being said, I could've explained it better, I felt this could've been provided towards the end of my tenure.

Pros

- People are nice for the most part - Everyone below senior management is trying to do the right thing.

Cons

- Senior management make unique decisions and either reap the positives or blame lower positions for the negatives. - Shortened deadlines whilst increasing workload by roughly 7x the usual amount then blamed the staff for poor feedback. - Had everyone working at the same level but paying up to £21k differently
