Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at SSE full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Sick pay .. everyone takes about 6 months off per year
Cons
Far too many unrealistic targets, you’re told to have humanity but if you don’t get as much cash from someone in debt you’re in trouble but if the day they can’t pay you better collect the debt but if a cus says they won’t pay and complain it’s your fault and so do what the cus cants so SSE doesn’t get a third party complaint... targets change all the time.. management don’t pass feedback up the ladder.. if you are... bad at your job you’ll get an off the phone job if your ok to good you’ll probably get managed out the door ... so many people of with work related stress
