Pros

Customer focused company with great aims to improve engagement of it's staff, a safe and fun enviroment to work in with some of the best people I've ever worked with. Senior Management have taken a grip and are starting to really turn the company culture around. The work is varied and challenging and rarely boring but being a regulated business with "baggage" from the past makes for a hard road to follow

Cons

Salary review does not exist - its a blanket one size fits all approach with no conversation on an individual level, and a two tear bonus / non bonus framework makes for a have and have not culture - either no one should get a bonus and everyone should be paid what they are worth or everyone should share in the company's sucess

Pros

I've been here 8 years and have found some of the best parts and worst parts of working in call centres and insurance companies. It was good to work for a company that set ambitious targets and was driven to achieve them. Yes we lost our way a little, but we have acknowledged that and put some really good plans in place to move forward without the mistakes of the past. I believe I have been trained well to do my job and have the freedom to do what I do best.

Cons

There is still a way to go to bring things to the level they need to be, but the intention is there to do it. Customer Service is not always where it needs to be, listening to customer, taking time over calls to have a great conversation, making the customer feel valued. I also think that we have to educate our staff on what it really means to be regulated and help them work to the best of their ability within that framework. Most don't understand the rules properly and see them as a hinderance to their job rather than as a benefit to both themselves and the customer.

Pros

The people in general are great, but overworked, stressed and not rewarded or recognised.

Cons

The board is totally dysfunctional and this filters down, with little to no strategy to guide the company. It is reliant on a handful of products that it pushes, knowing very well that its T&Cs give them a way out. It build its business model on pushing low value products, hooking customers in with low cost and confusing deals, and then relying on complacency whilst it ruthless cranked up prices in subsequent years. It knowingly miss sold products and was fine £30m+ for it, yet has not woken up to this message and still pushes broken products.
