      Cons

      For some it may be a con, for me it is what an ethical professional should strive to be: You will have to be task/goal oriented, udertand the value to teamwrk and believe in the part you play. Also, performace is important to suceed. In summary I see no cons to the job. You have to put in the time and effort, and also, different leaders manage their team differently, per say, but if you find your fit in within the company, you will saty with us for years to come.

                Pros

                Good equipment provided for home working apart from the Gladis form for marketing which is totally unneeded and the guest feedback form. Great ships and discounts. Really looked after me when was off on long term sick.

                Cons

                Too many systems to use and forms to fill in per call. Staff call centre turn over high making waiting times for guests on the phone over an hour at times. Booking system too long winded to make a booking. Lots of frustrated customers. Training needsto have a telephone buddy system to help you once on the phones. Someone with you for at least four week instead of just letting you go it alone.

                      Cons

                      Incompetent leadership in many aspects of the organization. You’ll have to read in between the lines of what’s being said and what is actually meant. “Gain the experience and move on” type of job.

                        The trainers were suburb with the exception of not understand true internet outages from internet provider. Lots of information to take in. The schedule just didn’t work for me

                        Cons

                        When I was hired we were told we could bid on shifts and then during training were told we had to work 1-1030 for a year bc of how late we started in the quarter. Which led me to find a different job

                      When someone says “We are eager to fill this position, we have no timeline but it should not drag out,” what are the chances I’m selected? This was at the third round interview, last Tue (5d ago) when I was told I should hear from HR next. The job was posted 30+ days ago. I applied for it on 10/22 and the interview process started 11/6 with an HR screening phone call.

                      Workday interview tips needed. The role I am applying to is a site reliability engineer role. I am not sure what to expect. Of course it’s a technical role so I do expect those questions. I am wondering if they go extra hard and how many rounds? I read somewhere that they do 5 rounds. Either way any tips are@welcome.
