Pros

The Multi-culteral experience of meeting wonderful people from all over the world.

Cons

Management sla g off their staff on an almost daily basis - who ever replies to this review will claim they don't but you can hear it yourself while working there. The targets in the time I was working in the sales department were unreachable - they start you off on a lower target which sounds great - until you find they then give you the bottom of the barrel quotes to chase. The turnover rate is ridiculously high and the pay is ridiculously low!

Hi and thank you for your review, although I was disappointed to read it and see how you were feeling. I am certainly not going to say that problems never arise across the business, we have more than 1600 people and sometimes people behave in a way that is less than ideal. What I can say, is that if we hear of issues that you describe we will follow it up, investigate and do what we need to do to improve. In this case, whilst I clearly don't know the specifics of your situation, I have already forwarded on your comments to the senior CS management team to see what we can learn and how we can improve. With regards to your comments on turnover, our retention rates are improving all the time, across the business and even on Glassdoor 83% of colleagues say that they would recommend us to a friend. I am sorry that you would not fall into this group but I wish you all the best for the future. Ryan
