Pros

Almost none. The basic VHI healthcare is all right but when it doesn't cover any of the psychiatric care you will need after working here for a few months. Stay away if you know what's good for you.

Cons

Everything else. Horrible management. No way to progress if they don't like your face. Blame culture, extremely toxic. Micromanaged every SECOND of the day. ZERO work life balance. Constantly treated like dirt by management while smashing all targets and getting NO recognition for it. Unrealistic expectations for absolutely every aspect of your job. If you voice your opinion even offering constructive criticism and suggestions on how to improve then you are blacklisted. Managers that used to go out of their way to say hello and be friendly will literally start to ignore you - in the lift when it's just the 2 of you (happened so many times) - because you will be branded a trouble maker.

Pros

- great culture and people - driven, likable, driven CEO

Cons

- slow and inefficient decision- making - lack of strategy - constant reorganizations - too strong headquarter mindset; lack of investment into European businesses - no career progression - if you want to make a career, apply in the USA - same senior managers and directors rotating into leadership roles - old- school mindset and no innovation; too much conversation, only little action

Pros

Major sense of "community spirit", Throw great parties, food are highly discounted and cheap.

Cons

You will be looked at funny if you decide not to participate in group social activities. Double standards from team meetings and to what is actually been done on the floor. If you need help, managers always seem to be in a"meeting" Definitely need to be brown nosing Team Leaders to get requests approved and time offs, groups are very clicky - you're either in the "fun and sociable" group or people won't make the effort to talk to you. Definitely do not get paid enough to take the amount of abuse I got over the phone. The "3 warning" system is flawed. If someone is calling you all sorts or being patronising or mentally abusive, you should just be able to end the call or escalate straight away. Once, I saw a friend of mine over the phone, cried her eyes out because she was being abused by a caller she was handling, the agent started sobbing over the phone and a team leader present at the time just looked on instead of taking over the call. How we are being rated is also a bit unfair - surveys from the calls are poor and not a true representation of work ethic.
