Pros

Flexibility, the staff are lovely, the hours are great and that’s where it ends.

Cons

The organisation lacks accountability, staff are lazy and don’t do anything. Managers are equally as lazy and lack leadership. The pay is by far the lowest in the industry and you are held hostage with no pay increase for years if you manage to hit the 110%. Customer satisfaction is very low and colleagues think your a pain when you try and help the customers out. The level of complaints are on the increase because colleagues don’t care about their jobs and are constantly telling customers to complain knowing full well nothing gets done. The organisation should really start from starch. It’s ambitious in wanting to be better but needs the right people in the right places. Customers safety is put into jeopardy by the lack of compliance process. Where the contracts managers don’t care as long as they are being paid to do nothing. The customers are really the losers in this organisation and it pains me to see.

Pros

Office Location in Euston really easy to get to, too many incidents at Watermill Lane office which is now closed anyhow

Cons

Too many!! Workload was impossible, Heads if service didn’t support the operational challenges and there is a high turnover of staff. Too many cliques in higher management too that is never healthy for any organisation. Staff feel unsupported and there’s very little empathy if you speak about work stress.

Pros

Work from home and that's pretty much it. Nothing else stands out in terms of pros.

Cons

Management are not experienced in the field, meaning staff have nobody to turn to. Seems they hite whoever 'face fits'
