      Office perks overshadowed by toxic management culture - Customer Service Specialist AO Employee Review

      Pros

      Christmas party and subsidised cafe

      Cons

      - Micro managed to the point where agents were getting threatened with PIPs for going to the toilet and taking longer than 5 minutes (a basic human right) - No consideration or knowledge for mental health - causes mental health issues - not allowed to use the nail salon on lunch unless on your day off - negative atmosphere and a mentality of beating you while your down - no career opportunities as they all want experience in the field but the department doesn’t support getting time in another department to gain that experience

      Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We're disappointed to see you didn't feel your time with us was worth more than 1 star. All feedback is reviewed, so we can make AO an even greater place to work, whilst some things like the working days and responsibilities of the role are more tricky to change, as these are the fundamentals of the role. If you have any additional feedback, please feel free to email us at peopleteam@ao.com. Thanks, AO

      Hey there - we think you may have left this review by mistake! We're the UK's most trusted electrial retailer, based out of Bolton, Greater Manchester. You might want to find the other 'AO' that are based in the States and leave your kind words there for the right company. All the best!
