Pros

A handful of talented, committed employees are still doing their best despite the environment. Basic compensation and benefits remain competitive.

Cons

The company culture has taken a drastic turn for the worse. What used to feel supportive and collaborative is now a toxic atmosphere where people are cautious about what they say and to whom. HR has become the most powerful entity in the organization. Instead of being a neutral partner or employee advocate, HR now operates as the ultimate authority, often shutting down concerns rather than addressing them. Management is disconnected from day-to-day realities. Decisions feel political, self-serving, and lacking in transparency. Employees often feel unseen and unheard. Morale is at an all-time low. Many good people have left, and those remaining are either looking elsewhere or staying out of necessity. Feedback loops are nonexistent. Raising issues feels unsafe, and the response is typically dismissive or defensive.

Pros

There are no pros at all.

Cons

8-6 shift pattern, work place favouritism and bullying, they advertise the jobs as a mix of phones and email, in reality you will be on phones for 90% of your days work and an hour emails at the end. Shift management, hard to get time off for legit purposes like going to the doctors. You have 10mins a day for loo breaks outside of alloted breaks. No freedom, constantly pulled up on minor issues, have to work Xmas/new year break. The worse company I've ever worked for. Save yourself and get a job elsewhere.

Toxic cesspool!

Pros

There is nothing beneficial about working here.

Cons

Never felt part of the team starting from day one. It is a toxic cesspool that embraces blame rather than accountability. Managers will accept half-truths as fact and never bother to get the other side of the story. Training and professional development is entirely absent. Logic and reasoning does not apply. Vague feedback such as "work faster" is the norm. There is no support from your manager...only criticism. You will begin to second guess yourself and question your capabilities. No genuine interest in seeing you succeed.
