Pros

If you work on the front line either in the field or office then this is a good company to work for, engagement is high, shrinkage allowance for engagement is above what you would normally expect and the benefits are good.

Cons

if you work as a Manager or in a senior position then my experience is very poor, Many Managers i have come across are often frustrated by the ridiculous amount of red tape they have to wade through to make a simple decisions or innovative ideas. There is a culture of mistrust and certainly my experience is that there is a lot of work that takes place to influence engagement survey scores for increasing scores sake and not particularly for a real care for people, feels very false sometimes. Things can change very quickly and when you are told something by very senior people in the business you would expect that they stick to their word, sadly this is not always the case Very clickey place to work

Hi, Thank you for providing your feedback. Immediately touching on your point about influencing scores, I appreciate how honest you’ve been with your review as well as your scoring. It's these types of reviews and open conversations that will hopefully help us to improve what we do for our People. Being an existing colleague, you'll be aware that we do have different procedures in place when it comes to decision making. This is to ensure that what we’re doing is right by us, right by our Customers and right by our regulators. We do work hard to engage with all of our colleagues and it's good to read that you feel we're getting it right for the front line. That said, we want to engage all our People regardless of what position they have. It’s interesting to read your comments about a culture of mistrust as I think a lot of individuals that work here would certainly dispute that. If however you’re experiencing examples of this on a regular basis then we want to know about it. If we don’t know these things are happening, then we can’t address them. Please don’t be shy about coming forward and speaking to us about any of your feedback as we want to listen and more importantly we want to learn. It might not feel like it from where you’re standing but we really do. If you’d like to put some time in to speak to Greg or any other member of the SMT please just drop an email to their respective PAs. Alternatively, drop an email to heretohelp@homeserve.com and we can have a chat separately. Kind regards, Stefan

Great exposure and a chance at a full time offer if you make the internship count.

Definitely a learning curve as with any company so you need to speak up and ask questions.
