- You WILL be micro managed.. even though it's dressed up as support
- They ask the happy staff to complete reviews on Glassdoor and stand over them whilst they write how good the company is to work for.
- Goals are high with low quality leads to work. Most of the site did not achieve their goals.
- There is no work life balance at all. Sales managers are directed to be tough on their team
- No concern over staff wellbeing
- They promise a lot and deliver little (Lots of incentives that are never achieved and lots of false promises... I would say lies..
- No culture of training and development. Its just copy what that person does...
- Taking a break is frowned upon, taking a full hour lunch is frowned upon, leaving on time is frowned upon.
- They don't pay you for sickness
- They don't pay maternity
- They don't give you much holiday and then demand you take holiday when the systems go down.
- They run out of leads by month end
- The way they operate leads changes all the time and the different sites have different rules
- They only ask the nice people who take out policies to do a trust pilot review. Most customers hate you as you have called them at least 20 times in a day, 20 days of the month, 12 months of the last year... So you need to be thick skinned as you will get verbal abuse.
- Don't have a doctors/dentst appointment as you will not be paid
- You have to work saturdays for free.... If you are ahead of your goals its to always help the site achieve their goals
- Leads are generated from adverts stating a customer will get a benefit if they send their contact details.
- You will be shamed if you don't get the customers direct debit details. If you do convince a customer to give you them then you will be penalised when they cancel their policy.
- You can never settle and under performers will constantly be moved rather than trained. Move the problem... managing performance is only a good when it doesn't result in people leaving the job... Management get penalised if someone leaves.
I could go on and on and on...... everyday there was something else that was shocking
