Pros

The team that i work with are great and help each other all the time. Its tough being front line staff due to call volumes, but the support that i get from my management team make it easier.

Cons

I feel as company we are getting better at communication and doing the right thing, but we are still reactive rather than pro active a lot of the time. This can then lead to frustration and stress for front line and CSTM's

Thanks for the review. I'd love to hear what you have to say that could help us during peak.. As you know anyone in the company can schedule a 1-2-1 with me. Grab 30 minutes and tell me your ideas.

Pros

The staff in inbound customer service were lovely.

Cons

They talk a lot about the People and Customer Charter's but didn't see evidence of either in practice. Also; poor management, insufficient training, lack of communication between departments, 40 hour work week. Was told that "you're not worth anything to us until you have a computer log in" (and could work), left feeling completely undervalued and replaceable, emphasised by the fact that senior advisors and management made no effort to even learn our names. Huge amount of staff turnover. Management don't seem to want to solve staff problems.

I'm truly sorry that your time at HomeServe was not a better experience. I would agree to some degree with many of your statements which is why there have been some recent changes in management and some significant investments in Banbury. I know that site is already on a better trajectory. I'll forward your comments on to Aaron Ali the newly appointed site manager. He is from my team at our call centre in Walsall and used to manage some of those lovely people you mention. Best of Luck. Greg

Pros

I have worked for HomeServe for many years and seen an amazing transformation in that time. The company cares for its employees as much as it cares for it's cusotmers. It has a strategy that has been in place for a couple of years now and regular communication sessions with the whole company to keep them up to date. It's a great place to work.

Cons

In any business where there has been issues, there is still a lot to do
