RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Openreach full-time for less than a year
Pros
I am a new starter and lock-down was in force on my start date. I was sent a laptop and mobile phone to my home address and have been kept busy with interactive learning and daily catch-ups with a manager. All of the trainers have been really supportive and welcoming. I am very impressed that Openreach adapted so quickly to the Covid 19 situation and feel part of the organisation already, even though I have not yet met any of my colleges face to face.
Cons
I have found none so far.

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Openreach full-time for more than a year
Pros
I'm a pole tester so am mainly an independent worker setting my own work for the day. I am given a lot of responsibility and am rewarded for this by being left to do my job. A pole tester is always at the end of the company phone we are supplied with.
Cons
I am on a much worse contract than some of my counterparts, disparencies there are a general bugbear
