Pros
Certain colleagues were great to work with
Cons
Never again, I was sold a fantastic outlook at Benenden during the interview process but nothing could be further from the truth The job was absolutely soul destroying, you had to stick to highly scripted calls, even if you deviated from it slightly you would fail that call according to QA, and then you would be put on a pip, which is management speak for “continue to do this and we will discipline you or worse” The salary is dire too, Benendens competition within the same market offer 3-4K more as a base salary but if you want that with BH, you needed to do their development matrix (more work for no guarantee of salary increase) as this would need to be signed off by management, pathetic really The team managers are all micro managers at heart, love to find any slight fault to bring up in 121’s, but any time we brought up any criticism it was avoided or given a pathetic excuse to tow the business line. Along with this if you got on with the colleagues near you and talked during quiet times, you couldn’t debate, chat or joke among us without managers again criticising this, effectively shutting down freedom of speech and expression and certain staff was moved away into a corner by themselves due to this also You’re also expected to be ready for calls at 8.59 but can’t log off until 5.02, yes you read that correctly, so my question is if you want is promptly on at that time, why isn’t it the same when staff want to go home
