Pros

Love helping customers in there hour of needs. Also really easy work but....????

Cons

Well where do I start?been with hs several years now and what a great company to work for at 1st. But Jesus how can a company get it so wrong? 1st they started using really poor goods that are not fit for purpose. Then introducing a change in systems. Yes I can see the benefits in this but when it was flagging up problems it was always the engineers that where to blame. Incidental overtime now seems to be forced onto you everyday so you simply can't arrange to do anything after work. Its not Incidental its bad planning. And as for the planning team they are just bully's or try to be hiding behind a screen. Get your house back into order and take it back to how it used to be.

Hello. Thank you for your review and I am glad you enjoyed working with our Customers, that’s why we do what we do. I get your point about our systems. The introduction of Merlin has been a real challenge for a number of reasons which I am sure you have heard me talk about before. Rest assured, there is never a question of blame, making a change as significant as Merlin needs a lot of work on the system itself as well as from the people who are going to use it, whether it’s our planners or our engineers, we all know that and I’m disappointed that didn’t come across for you. Your point on our goods - I’m surprised to hear that, we have a team of people from across the field who are always looking at new kit and when we do plan to make a change or update something it’s always tested and approved by our engineers, amongst others. I’d never try to pretend that the last year hasn’t been a tough one - but we’re lucky to be in a business that has too much work and needs to ask for overtime than the alternative. I hope wherever you have moved to works out for you. Martin Director of Field Operations

Pros

I have been employed by Homeserve for 17 years. Worked with many different people and gained some fantastic experiences in different areas of the business. What really stands out for me throughout this long journey in my employment so far which cannot go unmentioned is my current leader/manager Vicki McGurk. Vicki has been my mentor, my support function, my “go to” in the everyday challenges faced. She listens, acts, and provides such a comfort to me and my team with her honesty, transparency, and clear expectations. I cannot emphasise enough on Vicki’s leadership style which enables me and my team to perform for the business at our highest of capabilities. Knowing her job is not easy at the level of expectations for senior managers Vicki never shows any form of stress, impatience or negativity towards developmental challenges. A fantastic place of work and an even better manager to report into. Thanks Vicki from the whole homeworking team at Homeserve. You are amazing!

Cons

A very busy working environment with some challenging KPIs although works as a motivational factor rather than a negative deterrence.

Pros

Having had COVID-19 my manager really supported me through the most difficult time of my life. Regular communication whilst I was in hospital to ensure I was ok and that continued when I came out of hospital as well. Our CEO sent an email to the entire company for well wishes whilst I was in hospital Our company did not furlough anyone and ensured everyone was safe during this difficult time The company is like a big family and always look out for each other Great car parking spaces Great career progression opportunities for those who want to progress

Cons

No cons that I can think of
