Pros

- Flexible hybrid working arrangement - free charging on public network - company EV - higher than market average salary

Cons

If I was being kind, I would say my experience at bp pulse was challenging. Since I joined the company, my task was to sell chargers, but I have had nothing but obstacles in my way, with very little support from management. Whether it’s because the chargers are too expensive, not compliant with current UK regulations, an eyesore to look at, incapable of being onboarded to new customers, not in stock - or my personal favourite - the homecharge team have banned us from selling them - I have had nothing but issues trying to sell, and that’s literally my job - sell chargers that can’t be sold. You’d have thought perhaps with all these issues the management team may have offered some kind of support or financial compensation - since it was literally impossible to sell and earn commission - sadly not. The management’s attitude towards all the challenges we as salespeople have faced was to shrug their shoulders, and even recently to shut down the home charge side of the business in its entirety and make 50+ people’s jobs redundant. The business is disjointed, sloppy and unorganised. Processes are slow and frustrating and not customer-minded. If we want a survey completed, it’ll take weeks. If you want something shipping fast, you gotta chase people. Recently, pretty much all the members of upper management all got a promotion and no doubt a hefty pay increase too, so it’s not all bad. Oh - the CEO is the most deluded/woke wet blanket you’ve ever seen. He recently shed a tear on a company-wide teams call because someone put graffiti on an LGBTQ+ friendly poster in the male toilets - get a grip mate. You’re a CEO of one of the largest EVC companies in the world, start acting like it. No one cares that you’re an inclusive snowflake.
