Pros

More so than customer service, you're actually playing the 3rd party or middle ground between Hotel and guests who booked through Booking.com. The normal phone calls consists of cancel reservation requests to answering questions about the hotel the potential guest are trying to book. There is a set of procedure you need to follow regarding complaints, so if you memorize and know it well, this job is no challenge at all.

Cons

I enjoyed working at this place, but the attendant policy was too overwhelming. The company uses a point-formula where you're basically given 6 points to lose until you're terminated. For every time you call in, you get a point taken away. if you happen to call in on a weekend when you're scheduled, you lose two points. You can absolutely regain your points, but you'd have to have perfect attendance (no tardy or absence) for 30-days in order to gain back one point. Ridiculously, when you get 3 points taken away, your team leader would ask you for a one-on-one talk and basically warns you on what's going to happen if you keep losing points. Also, you are basically put on a probation for 1 month until you gain back your point to drop it down to 2. What probation means is that you cannot bid to change your schedule or even consider changing department/promotion opportunities.

Pros

The colleagues were really good, smart and friendly people. We had free lunch.

Cons

The management is very young and not experienced. The work shifts in the London office are unbearable and underpaid. The salary is not enough to live in London. You are treated like a child, you don't have time to go to the bathroom other than the 2 fifteen minutes break, they don't have any flexibility in regards to the breaks. They are always suspicious if you ask for a sick day. The management made lots of promises and they didn't follow up on any.

Pros

You get paid & free bananas.

Cons

Run by a bunch of amateurish consultants who struggle to tie their own shoelaces. Security and vulnerabilities are shocking on the website for any customers. If you are a hacker, fill your boots. CIO is a fat, insecure, lazy chancer.
