Pros

free lunch once a week, nice staff

Cons

CSA's are treated like second class citizens. their lunch break is shorter. The job is not billed as a traditional contact centre, which it in fact is in the most basic, mundane sense. In the age of excellent company ethos this 'friendly' company offering its staff free lunch just once a week is not up to scratch. Coffee machine is free but they still use throw away paper cups which shows a lack of foresight for this socially conscious era. They have an outdated approach to customer support. you don't feel valued at all. Lame ethos where you feel you can't critisize company or managment. told on first day that there is no hope for promotion out of sector, I mean no wonder everyone quits

Pros

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
