Pros

I’ve worked at QA for 7 years and find QA a great place to work, fast paced and full of opportunities to develop and progress if you are willing to put yourself out there and take them! Hard work and getting involved beyond your job spec is encouraged and greatly rewarded. Whilst creating the best customer experience (internally and externally) has always been at the heart of what we do, over the past few years the focus here has literally become an obsession, with locations throughout the company having their very own Customer Obsession groups focusing on helping with the continued improvement of our environment and culture for staff and the service and experience for all our customers. There is a big focus on charity also so there is always lots of fun activities to get involved in with, we also get 2 days paid charity leave each year which is rewarding. There is a lot of really great people working at QA which is one of the main reasons I have been here so long and see myself here way into the future.

Cons

Due to the fast paced environment it can be a little difficult sometimes to keep up with the changes.

Cons

The whole company is a joke. You are sold you will be working with established accounts and big clients when in fact you are a glorified cold caller who will get shouted at by management (who appear to do nothing all day) if you don’t spend over 120 minutes per day “on the phone” meaning staff find ways to go about this by sitting listening repeatedly to voicemail messages, and sit on with their phone line switched on to make this KPI more achieveable. Old fashioned. Won’t listen to any innovative ideas and management are very rude Started looking for a new role on day 2 of my employment and got out as soon as I possibly could.

Oh gosh. I find reading reviews like this so hard. It shows we are still a way from getting things right for all of our employees. It sounds to me that 1) your expectations of the role were not correctly set about what the role entailed, 2) you experienced issues with management and 3) disagreed with the processes you were asked to adhere to - I can see how the combination of these factors would result in a high level of dissatisfaction. I really admire the work of my sales colleagues - it is a tough but ultimately rewarding job if you take to it. I have heard it said before that some of the sales processes are demanding but I know management are always keen to learn from staff about how these could improve. The MDs for each division have been trying to make themselves more available via site visits, live webex sessions and jabber chats to ensure they can speak to the people on the ground about any issues they may be experiencing. I am really sorry that these initiatives weren't able to help address these issues before you took the decision to leave. I know the nature of glassdoor means you cant always list specifics so I would really value the opportunity to speak to you directly about your experience with us. I want to make sure this does not happen to others. You can contact me at mary.sansom@qa.com.
