Pros

Good salaries & benefits including heathcare, bonus & gym membership even for junior level management. Due to the size of the organisation there are plenty of opportunities to move about the business and accross teams to expand experience which is actively encouraged. 'Fun' atmosphere to work in, flexible working hours and overall it provides a good work/life balance. The company has done well to turn itself around from the negative press of the past 2 years.

Cons

If you want to have a career in marketing and expected to work in an office environment, HomeServe is not the place. The department works in the call centre amongst people trying to do their job on the phones which is a noisy and disruptive atmosphere. People are also being brought in externally for senior management positions which limits the opportunity of exisitng staff to progress.

Thank you for your review. It is great that you are willing to share your views to help others make better choices regarding employment with HomeServe. I'm glad that you feel we have turned things around over the past 2 years but I'd like to stress that this turn around would not have been possible without bringing in external managers with prior experience; This was necessary given the circumstances. The intention is to use their very relevant external experience to set the tone for the culture going forward, a culture which includes a focus on development so we will never be in the position again where we don't have middle managers ready to step up. Finally I'm disappointed that being close to the Customer is something you find noisy and disruptive. I disagree and think the experience of being close to the front line will lead to better decisions for both the staff and the Customer. Time will tell.

Pros

I can't think of any pro's for working there. I was glad to leave to work somewhere much less frantic.

Cons

Too much work to fit into a day, too many interruptions to take you away from your desk to waste time, playing silly games, fancy dress etc, but still expected to get the work done. Bad management style, intimidating for employees.
