Pros

As many have mentioned, the people are by far the best asset this company have, however, they work hard and play harder! Great incentives if you are on the right team. Good pay. Finish your work at 5pm so great work/ life balance. Some opportunities to work in other areas of the business or to progress. Good brand, well established, well known and respected.

Cons

The main issue is really micromanagement, but that could come from the fact they employ graduates who still have the Uni life mentality. This is a call centre environment, with managers constantly on about hourly/ daily targets and hitting KPI's. The best sales people are sometimes unethical and so long as the managers can hide this, then it's swept under the table. When complaints come on from customers, sometimes they have to complain to the very sales agent they are making a complaint against which leads to poor customer retention. Poor sales techniques also leads to more complaints and many sales agent avoid the calls/ emails. Difficulties in communicating across departments causes processes to be lengthened, more needs to be done in processes and procedures internally.

Pros

I have been with Iris for approximately 5 months and have been incredibly impressed. The people I work with from my peers, leadership (including executive leadership) and my team, are amazing. Building relationships has been easy as most of the employees are open to it, are very collaborative and genuinely want to help! Iris is also focused on equality and ensure we all have a fair opportunity for growth. While we have a lot to do here, it is clear that we are valued.

Cons

As a rapidly growing organization, we have some growing pains and some foundational processes, systems and flow that need to be updated and/or adjusted, but nothing that won't be fixed over time.
