Pros

Not a bad salary , decent discount scheme , I'm really struggling to find minimum of 20 words to give you pros

Cons

The whole training process is an absolute shambles from the word go , 8 days training of death by PowerPoint with no system training which considering it was a call centre is ridiculous . No rota until the day we started !! Then told we would be working every weekend for the next 4 weeks which was contrary to what we were told at the interview stage . Constant phone calls and texts of Security watchdog they use stating we hadn't completed the information which I clearly had on several occasions . I really can't emphasise on how pointless the training actually was compared to the role . Out of 35 people in our training group 3 left in the first 3 hours and 5 left within a week !! . We were informed that when we went live on the phones there would be an abundance of floor walkers and helpers , not a chance !! I had to keep a customer on hold for 20 mins before I got help , so much for treating customers fairly . I left after one shift , handed my resignation in and my headset and then a week later yes one week I got a letter stating that due to unauthorised abscence I was to attend a discipinary!!!! A week after I had handed my resignation in !!! . The company is an utter shambles

Pros

Commission and first view of new technology. If you like talking to people and like technology then this is the job for you!

Cons

The targets can be slightly hard and nerve racking and also there is a lot to learn with new things coming out all the time.
