Pros

Flexibility of working from home, commission on any billing you make. Systems relatively good compared to previous companies I have worked at.

Cons

People too comfortable with basic salaries. No drive or passion. Managers not taking time to develop staff. Need to take more time to listen on the needs of staff.

Thank you for your review. We have certainly made development one of our top priorities over the past year so I am sorry that your expereince does not reflect this. It is useful feedback though and indicates that despite the investment and energy we have put into this area, there's more to be done. Thank you again for affording us the opportunity to address your concerns. Wishing you the best as you continue your career at Manpower.

Pros

£8.50 an hours so that's better than a lot of companies in the northeast. You can also get bonus for selling. Some of the BT management are really nice and supportive.

Cons

It's an agency. No sick pay. Not great at communications. Maternity allowence is bad too. They will even dock your wages if you have a hospital appointment for 3 hours. BT itself is a better company to work for. But it's a call centre so even going to the toilet during the time you are meant to be logged on and taking calls goes against you.
