Pros

The employee benefits, HR, covid restrictions in place in the office, the salary is quite good

Cons

Lifeplus claims to be a unique company to work for. During the first number of years working there, I really felt this was true. The emphasis was on the people, family, mental health. There used to be plenty of opportunity for progession within the company. However, the last several months there were a few changes within Senior Management who have now taken the stance that everyone is replacable, the general feeling now is that employées are just numbers and that the company no longer cares about the individual. Recently there has been several absences due to stress and gifted members of staff are leaving. This is a clear sign that the changes made by Senior Management is not working... but no improvements are being made. Internal opportunities to progress within in the company are now also becoming rare. Team Leaders are being told to work smarter, and be available to support their teams, but due to so many absences and so much pressure, this is impossible. TL's are encouraged to find faults with their team members, even if they are doing well.

Pros

The pay was alright, however the new salaries being offered are about 2k lower than when I started. The peer group and the CCAs are great. HR is also great with a very caring attitude and focus on people and their wellbeing. You get three free products a month as an employee which is nice. The handling of COVID was good and work continued from home.

Cons

Fear, fear, fear. That's the way people are being managed. You are constantly wondering if you are going to lose your job, the inept management of some of the senior customer care management is laughable. When your team is performing well, you are instructed to find problems in your team. This is not right. Technical difficulties are a constant, but a few months down the line the CCA can be blamed for it and entered into a disciplinary. The paybands for the roles have all been lowered, which was not communicated and when questioning it you get lied to. Good people get overlooked as they might be a threat to the control the senior management team are trying to grab. It was such a great place to work, but the last year has been atrocious.

Pros

The only plus of working for Lifeplus was not being unemployed.

Cons

Sicko pyramid scheme designed to target people's insecurities and exploit them. Customers are relentless expecting to be treated as though they are above the rules and regulations. Customers earn a commission and act as though they are the CEO when you talk to them. High attrition rate, low investment in people. No chance to integrate with UK society for those who are recruited from abroad as shift pattern isolates them. Relocation package traps staff in an unfulfilling role for a long time. HR and management solely figures based, no interest in people, development or supporting staff. Claims that people are at the heart of all they do. Not true. Explain
