Pros

Don't be fooled by goodlords love bombing in your initial interview. If you are reading this and think you match their referencing criteria think again- it is nothing but a controlling call centre that will drain you of your enthusiasm and energy. Goodlord draws you in under the pretence you will be a referencing executive, this role will constantly change on week if not day to day basis meaning you are constantly learning a new role. Unattainable targets, systems that aren't even functioning you will be expected to work on, while reaching sed targets, and being shouted at by the quite rightly frustrated tenants on the end of the line . Inept management that treat you like children. When raising concerns to them they will deflect it back on to you, as if your stress and anxiety is your problem. They preach they advocate health and well being - i saw multiple colleagues that left due to their mental health after working here. Dont expect to be paid on time, or for your pay check to be correct! No appreciation for if you actually reach targets or help out at all. Job advancement? They constantly change your working role- so how you can advance from that I dont know. As a whole- it has real potential to be good and treat ALL staff well, shame it has such an awful culture and management.

Cons

lack of communication from management, unattainable targets, poor training, systems that aren't functional

Thank you for your feedback and I’m sorry to hear that you haven’t had the best experience at Goodlord. We aim to provide a culture where people can thrive in their professional and personal lives and it’s not great to hear that this wasn’t the case for you. One of our values is that we ‘listen, learn and improve’, and I’m sorry to hear that you felt your feedback wasn’t actioned when expressed to managers. This is something that we would be keen to understand in more detail. I am also curious to understand your comment about unattainable targets and the role changes experienced. Our Referencing employees are measured on productivity and quality and many achieve these targets with ease and we also have a dedicated training team in Referencing, but if you have any further feedback you would like to share we would love to hear it (people@goodlord.co). - Lydia, People Coordinator
