Thank you for leaving a review, however, the title of your review is concerning. Our colleagues are not under any obligation to leave a review on Glassdoor. We invite colleagues to consider leaving a review at various stages of their time with us, for example after completing 3 months in role. If you believe that you have been mandated to do this, please raise your concerns with HR and we can look into this. Our pay is based on a number of factors including external benchmarks, and is reviewed annually. To find out more you can visit the Pay and Reward Hub on how your salary is calculated. We also encourage you to discuss your career aspirations with your manager at your next 121 meeting. A career conversation will help you determine what your career path could look like and your manager can help discuss what areas you might want to focus on to get you ready for the next step in that journey. There are plenty of resources on the Development Hub that you'll find helpful and we also recommend visiting the careers website to see what is currently available.

Thank you for your review and five star rating. We're pleased that you are happy with your work and pay. We are concerned about the comments you've made regarding your customers and to see them listed as one of the negative aspects of the Customer Team Member role doesn't align with our commitments to providing great service within our communities. We recommend that you talk to your manager about the best way to manage any frustrations you're having in your role.
