Pros

New office space was brilliant, some genuinely great people. For a 6 month period, performance and morale was amazing.

Cons

Oppressive environment, disciplinary culture, & tribal behaviour between departments to the detriment of everyone. Also, the high score of the company on Glassdoor is because agents were told to review the company and advise their line manager when they had done so. Look at the bulk reviews on certain dates, dead giveaway. My last review is not showing for some reason, who knows why. Regardless, when lockdown came into effect in March 2020, certain management were just expected to work 55+ hours a week, as standard, with no discussion from senior management and no breaks. Just left to it between 3 people to manage a contact centre. 4 out of 5 managers who were there in late 2019 spent a minimum of 6 weeks sick, read into that what you will. I expect this review to be deleted soon, even though everything is entirely provable via subject access requests. I also missed out on a job offer because they could not be bothered to reply to a reference request. I have since been able to get a better job and did receive a reference after the first mishap, thanks, only cost me 3 months of employment.

I am sorry that you were unhappy with your personal experience at PerfectHome and any customer service failures on our part. Responding to lockdown was a really big challenge for our contact centres but I promise you that we genuinely value the effort everyone made to make sure we kept delivering a great service for our customers in such unique and difficult circumstances. As with all the feedback on Glassdoor, your comments will be shared with our leadership team to see what lessons can be learnt. We do encourage our team members to share their experience of working at PerfectHome on Glassdoor because we’re proud that people enjoy working here, which the vast majority tell us they do – our last employee satisfaction survey came in at 76%. If our request has ever been interpreted as a mandatory one, we are sincerely sorry. That was never the intention and we will ensure that going forward that this is made clear.
