A Mix of Awful Roles and Terrible Management (Denver Office) - Customer Service Executive WorldRemit Employee Review

Pros

The main pro of working at WorldRemit is being part of a developing financial tech company. If you accept the job (please, please do not) you will find that being in the environment of helping people send money to their loved ones across the world is fun and captivating.

Cons

Unfortunately, despite a positive company value and mission, the roles offered and the management set up to delegate those roles are an all-around mess. If nothing else, the large turnover rate should indicate the toxic environment that welcomes you as you walk through the doors of WorldRemit. Let me break it down threefold: 1) WorldRemit is divided between a Denver office and a London office, where the headquarters reside. As a customer service executive - like at any other job - you will be expected to communicate with your team in order to produce the best work possible. The problem is that the London office is paid less by a very large margin and therefore, the quality of their work as they would put it is "rubbish". You are left communicating with a bunch of lazy and ignorant who appear to make your role harder as an amusement. 2) The management is a freaking joke: what do you get when you combine a few over-privileged entrepreneurs with the wish to make money at a low expense? the WorldRemit management. None of them have ever began to lead a team and the communication between them, more often than not, creates tension in the workplace rather than resolve. 3) Work-life balance. If you want anything resembling a personal life, do not take this job.

Pros

You get a lot of different work experience because you're regularly asked to do the job of four+ people due to understaffing.

Cons

This company does not care about it's employees. Setting aside the complete lack of empathy and accommodation for our Ukrainian colleagues, the company frequently goes through lay offs which are announced in inappropriate ways. It's a game of who you know, not what you know, and your surest way to survive here is not by being good at your job, it's by blindly following the requests of upper management, regardless of morality, ethics, or their understanding of what you actually do. Upper management regularly complains about employee retention while continuing to offer poor benefits and incentives, and also requiring employees to continuously work well beyond their scope because of lack of staffing.

Thank you for review. We’re saddened to hear how you felt about your time with us. At WorldRemit we are a mission led, customer focused business, which means we do have to move quickly with our decisions, including our recent focus on sustainable business activities so we can serve customers more efficiently. For our colleagues in Ukraine we hosted a number of initiatives to support them during this incredibly difficult time. If there’s more you think we could have done then please do let us know at glassdoorfeedback@worldremit.com. We regret you left feeling that way, and wish you the best of luck.
