Pros

Great choice of food Good choice of coffee Possibility to work a few hours per day and still meet or exceed expectations.Nice place to start your career (in the wrong way)

Cons

mediocre middle management. Huge technical debt and still increasing steadily as this is not a tech company. This makes being able to work productively very hard and often impossible. Over Engineered and fragmented infrastructure. Recruiters have sick incentives. No sense of ownership/accountability.

Pros

You will get introduced to some cool people and make new friends. Free fruits and coffee are served every day

Cons

Continuous "meetings" between TLs and their managers claiming that these meetings are to support us. Specific people sit with each other for hours and hours as if they were creating a rocket to the moon. When they are supposed to support the staff you don't find any support. Customer Service Managers have no clue on what's going on in the floor. Customer Service Managers claim that they are open for feedback when this is all fake. You can't talk about your TL in any way because you will be the "problematic" person in the team. In your 1:1 meeting, you are supposed to talk about your own development and express your feeling about what you face in your everyday job, they don't listen... They just don't listen The problem is not in the job itself, it's with the management

Pros

- Free lunch. - Good CV builder/stepping stone, transferable skills to other jobs. - Easy to get a job, due to high staff turn over they're always hiring. - Good social events.

Cons

- Regardless of what they tell you at open days/interviews, be aware this IS a call centre role. - Bad shift patterns, 10 hours long shifts, weekends and evenings. - The customers you have deal with are horrific, (rude and abusive, and ridiculous expectations). - A lot of the problems you have to deal with have no solution, so you just have to apologise and get yelled at. - Lots of pressure on stats targets to reach, most of which are utterly random and you have no control over.
