RecommendsPositive OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Norfolk County Council full-time for less than a year
Pros
NCC has a decent shop and canteen, the pay is quite good too compared to others of my age and you've always got someone to help if you get stuck or not sure on how to action a call.
Cons
Management try their best but sometimes I feel that not enough training is given to staff within teams, I also find that new staff are given a week or 2 training to learn all NCC systems that they might need to support (and there is a huge number of systems) and basically told "just to get on with it". I've also seen staff put on different roles within the team (Emails, live chat, phones, reception etc) without any training...

Would recommend implementing a training policy for new staff.
