City of London, England (UK)

Current Employee – been working at Lebara full-time for more than a year

ProsA very cosmopolitan place with very friendly people. Young environment

ConsCustomer Service Agents are not treated fairly (Back to back call taking, breaks given at unconvenient times), not willing to give career progression to well performing and long serving employees.

Advice to Senior ManagementListen to CS representatives advices as they are the ones who deal with customers, if they have ideas that can improve the business put some in place such that it gives a great customer experience to the customers.
Give internal opportunities to CS agents as they deserve as much as any other well-performing person to progress after all the hard work they have been doing. They can maybe not do 'Head' roles but if they are well performing and willing to get into another department give them their chance into something else then Customer Service.

Realise that being over the phone the whole day is not an easy task, it is very repetitive, tiring and monotonous so treat agents correctly. Do the right things, Do things right?

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

City of London, England (UK)

Current Employee – been working at Lebara

ProsThe location is good, nothing else really.

ConsNo procedures, difficult to be proactive, not many people actually care about anything. Many things permanently do not work at all.

Advice to Senior ManagementSome managers should have gone away long time ago, seem to be useless wasting Lebara's money.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

London, England (UK)

Former Employee – worked at Lebara

ProsJob easily obtainable due to the high turn over of the agents. Interviews not difficult and pretty much about basic customer services skills. Perfect job for full time students wishing to get some extra cash due to the lack of responsibility and stress.

ConsNo concern for their employees whatsoever as they provide no regularity or reliability in shift rota or payment date: new starters were initialy requested to sign their contract of employment without knowing if they would get a salary at the end of december or end of January.
Role not challenging ,very repetitive.
No communication whatsoever between supervisors and agents
Lack of support from the supervising team
at the lowest of the salary range for customer support representatives with bilingual skills.

Advice to Senior ManagementPlease provide the minimum to your employees:
-regular and reliable shift rota
-salary paid at regular intervals
-pay extra for the extra language provided.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
