Pros

Flexibility Holiday entitlement is good When your shift ends

Cons

Too much pressure, lots of people sick with stress you have to do their work too on top of your heavy workload. You have to service 6 customers per hour as well as 2 letters and 2 emails on top of your complaints and any other “extra” unpaid responsibilities. You are expected to go above and beyond. Once you hit your target for the hour you need to serve more customers if you hit your hourly target earlier then stop they hold your bonus over you saying it’s work avoidance. Asked to work unpaid overtime and told you have to come in for meetings and training on your days off unpaid. Managers gossip and nothing is kept private everyone is told your business, I know things about people I have never heard of or met before. Wrong people in management, it’s very unprofessional. Lots of bullying especially if your face doesn’t fit. Toxic “family” culture you are separated into teams, families & super families and you’re told “we are one team” but there is lots of competition. People in management have no clue we are told there is no hierarchy everyone is the same but everyone is on different paths and salary. Nepotism is rife, if you are friends with management you will go far. If you challenge anything they get rid of you. When you ask your team leader for help they don’t know the answer and tell you to ask someone else, they all need training. When a customer asks for a call from a manager you have to side escalate you are told to say you are a compliant manager as management don’t offer call backs. Digi is supposed to be universal but no one has access to do what you need due to lack of training people kept messing up and access was removed now only 1 or 2 people can do it, If they are off it means long waits for customers. It’s a toxic place to work. If you like feeling stressed, overworked and undervalued this is the place for you. If not then run.

Pros

Some of the colleagues are truly nice

Cons

Worst management, bullies and unprofessional people being picked by higher management to create a company where decent and educated people will find it hard to sustain. High turnover. Constantly recruiting and people leaving them. Blind leading blind, haphazard process keeps changing without notice. No proper knowledge base and access to materials to improve skills are offered to selected individuals. Ideal example of nepotism, favouritism and systematic targeting of individuals they find as a threat. Company breaches crucial industry procedures and only now has gained the capacity to bill prepayment meters. Huge flaw in their billing software and hugely depended on human intervention to bill. There is not a single account where customers have not been a victim of financial detriment. They ask you to not use interpreter services to save cost. Anyone raising any concerns are hunted down and eventually sacked

Pros

Hybrid working, reasonable pay, trying to improve (you know it’s bad when you have to put that as a pro)

Cons

E.on next has a great idea about the culture they want you to perceive them to have & on paper it sounds like it would be a great way to work, however in practice it is completely different. You’ve got some leadership who really try to embrace an embody the culture & promote this in their teams & then you have others who don’t & it can cause conflict. My TL is amazing, my OM is a bully. The company grew so big so quickly the they put the wrong people in their roles. They have a self led learning model which feels like a cop out to not train right or offer support. You have to be a jack of all trades master of none. There is no support when dealing with customers so there is a fob culture. People have no pride & are afraid to ask support because they are chasing numbers, then they tell us to focus on quality but then you get told you’re not doing good enough for not hitting numbers. OMs want everyone on performance plans so they can escalate issues and fire you (they try to say it’s for support). They act like a nanny state wanting to be in every aspect of your life & there is no proper HR so no one is holding bad leadership accountable. If your face doesn’t fit & you’re not perfect then you have no chance to develop. Overworked under appreciated & you’re supposed to sign your soul over to them with fake positivity because they’ve given you a job.
