Pros

Building a nice new office (in 3 years time...)

Cons

Get punished for small issues but never praised for anything good - log in 1 minute late and you almost get a ROD but stay 30 mins or sometimes an hour after shift and you get NOTHING for it - you're 'expected' to stay. Ringing in sick is so stressful its made my mental health worse. You get INTERROGATED for the most personal things, and they ask if you can come in later, like thats going to help?? A manager asked me if I knew my father was going to go into hospital and if I need to be there if my mum is there also - you kidding me?! So stressful, and you get a ROD for having 4 days off in a year (2 of them were half days as well). No career progression, theyve basically got rid of bonuses now and an chance of salary increases. Makes you force customers into paying when they have no money and are literally crying down the phone

We’re sorry about your experiences at Lowell; we understand it’s sometimes hard if you are on a call and it continues past your finish time. We really appreciate all the hard work and dedication you show to our customers. It really does put them at the heart of everything we do. We don’t want anyone to feel stressed at work, but we understand how challenging this year has been. Looking after your wellbeing is extremely important and we’re here to help you. Our Thrive Ambassadors, Mental Health First Aiders and colleague support teams are available to provide support if you are struggling or just want a chat. No one should feel worried about being ill and off work, this year we also updated our policy on company sick pay. We also wanted to limit the impact of COVID 19 so, sick days due to the virus weren’t included in your annual allowance; we are all fighting this pandemic together. We have had to make some difficult decisions this year including deferring salary increases. Whilst this was a hard decision to make, as a business, we want to be as strong as possible coming out of the other side of this pandemic. We understand how hard our colleagues have worked this year and are proud of the support we have provided to our customers it’s such a great achievement. If you have any concerns please raise these with your team leader, manager, or HR member and we will be happy to help. Our customers are at the heart of everything we do and we’re here to make credit work better for all. Thank you for your review, we really do appreciate your feedback. At Lowell, we’re invested in creating a better company culture and making it a place where everybody wants to work. Your views matter and you can also provide feedback in our quarterly colleague surveys. If you want to get in touch offline, please do. Thanks,
