Pros

Macbook and screen provided, (previously) fully remote

Cons

Constant criticism from service management for unachievable KPI's, lack of support from upper management and people team, feedback is now silenced with staff told to delete constructive feedback (where this was previously welcomed). Despite having policies in place for neurodivergent staff, this isn't adhered to anymore following the new management, and staff are basically told to leave the business as they don't want to offer any assistance. Pay discrepancies amongst the service team with both eggsperts and team leads (some pay differences as much as £10k) with no explanation as to why and staff doing the same job, with no framework in place offer guidance.

Pros

Struggling to think of any other than it was pleasure to leave this companyf

Cons

Toxic middle managers who have no skills to manage themselves let alone other people. Promotion/ posts given on jobs for the boys. Who are People who know each other and have the same small mindset. Commission structure very poor and even force sales reps to ask customers to write 5 star reviews so reps can meet the "review targets" to get paid poor commission rates. Not able to think for yourself and organise your own day /times.. micromanaging is understatement... I can't think of anything good to write about this idiotic setup with morans for managers.. I have so many examples of things said and done by these morans however would be still typing next week to list the full issues and ridiculous things done and said

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your experience didn’t reflect the culture we strive for at Cuckoo. We’re proud of our strong Trustpilot score, and it’s important to be clear that reviews are always the customer’s choice. We never require or pressure anyone to seek five-star reviews, and any decision a customer makes to leave feedback is entirely their own. Promotion and progression at Cuckoo follow transparent processes based on performance and capability — not personal connections. We’re concerned to hear your comments about management and working practices. This isn’t the experience we want for our team, and we continue to invest in developing supportive, effective leadership. We appreciate your perspective and wish you well for the future. - The Cuckoo Team
