Huntswood reviews

This is not a job for anyone who needs security. You can be let go at any moment; and are under constant threat. Targets are unrealistic. Unnecessarily complex processes. The client doesn't care about the people that work there. All they are interested in is whether they are making their stats / targets. Senior managers on the project are vastly overpaid and are on a power trip. You are told it is a 37.5 hour working week but you soon find out the expectation is to work a lot more and to not leave until you have finished your 'target'. No rights as you aren't an employee.

Long hours, employed under false pretences, unethical view to staff During the interview it was highlighted you work 1 in 3 Saturday's and get a day off during the week. Once starting, you find out the real story. It's a day in lieu so you work a 6 day week without having a say and you can only have your day in lieu if you hit your target. Neither of these mentioned in the interview or the contract. As starting as a newbie, of course you don't hit target for a while while you learn and adjust so you won't be getting that day in lieu anytime soon. Pretty bad. Over recruited. Shifts have been shortened to strictly 8 hours on a weekday and Saturday is the only day you can do overtime. This is to create maximum productivity, each seat is taken with no spares and it feel like a bit like a factory. You now have 8 hours to produce 3 cases (which is difficult enough) as well as answering many phone calls (some very time consuming setting complaints up) squeezing in a lunch break and performing the standard admin posting your letters, making payments and filling out surveys. Stretching the bar with no real outlook on how the role works, so the target become more and more unachievable.
