Pros

Location isn't bad - quite easy to get to from major routes

Cons

Just an awful place to work. There is a real penny pinching attitude and some staff haven't been given pay rises for FIVE years (yep even in the good times). Yet they ram 'success' emails down your throat to rub it in ! There is no training funded so you will have to pay for that yourself. The 'facilities' such as dining area, toilets etc are disgusting due to the fact cleaners are rarer than lottery winners ! It is filthy all over the building. The staff 'restaurant' is the worst you will ever experience - its pricey and the food sits there all day drying up until it becomes inedible ! Onto work and the 'management' are clueless - give them a suggestion thats valid and they will ignore it as they didn't think of it first. Its staffed by numerous BT rejects - so if they're not good enough for BT....go figure ! Seriously clumsy management with no vision whatsoever and who just love to treat you like you are 12 !. Pay and conditions are the minimum they can get away with - they are well well below industry standards. They take the view you are lucky to have a job !!! Every single person in the section I work in, is looking for another job.

Pros

Great location, great co workers, great leadership

Cons

Can be a bit too sales focused and forget that other departments are just as important. Lots of perks for sales that are not availbale to anyone else in the company

Pros

Pay and job title are crazy nice

Cons

This place is less data center more fulfillment center style. Walk in and are told to just copy that rack. No training. Then if you make a mistake they get mad even though nothing was explained.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for highlighting both the positives and the areas where we can improve. We’re pleased to hear that you value the pay and job title, but it’s disappointing to read that your experience with training and support has not met expectations. Starting in a new environment without clear guidance can be challenging, particularly in a technical role where structure and consistency are important. Your comments around the need for more effective onboarding, clearer instruction, and better support are important. We recognise that learning by observation alone is not sufficient for everyone, and creating an environment where people feel confident and set up for success is a key part of being a place where people matter. We also take seriously your point about how mistakes are handled. A supportive culture should ensure that people are guided constructively, especially while they are still learning. Thank you again for your honest feedback, which helps us continue improving the experience we provide
