Pros

The only reason I’m giving this place one star is because of my coworkers, they were the only good thing of that office and because of 9-5.

Cons

Management treats employees like children. If you get along well with someone, they move you to another seat just to keep you from talking. Most of the supervisors act like they’re working, but honestly have no idea what they’re doing; they’re basically puppets for the company. When they become obsessed with someone, they won’t leave that person alone until they move on to another target, and in the meantime, they make your life miserable. You’re not allowed to do anything except work, not take a break when you need one and not even go to the bathroom freely. And during the long periods with no work (which is most of the year except summer because they're going bankrupt), they still don’t let you sit idle or check your phone. The company has no structure at all. Decisions feel completely random and make no sense. Unless you’re the type who sucks up to management and throws coworkers under the bus, you’ll never get promoted, because to them you’re just a pawn. They pay the bare minimum, and if they can do something to pay you even less, they will.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience felt frustrating and that you didn’t feel supported, although we do appreciate you recognising the strength of your colleagues and teamwork. As a contact centre, our teams need to be consistently available to support our guests throughout opening hours. This requires clear structure and expectations, which can sometimes feel restrictive if not managed well. We recognise the importance of balancing this with trust, respect, and open communication, and we’ve been actively strengthening our manager capability to ensure teams are supported fairly and consistently. We also want to address the comment regarding the company’s financial position. Awaze is in a strong position, having had one of our busiest summers in 2025 and with excellent forward bookings for 2026. While our industry is seasonal, the business remains stable and focused on long-term growth. We take all feedback seriously and use it to inform ongoing improvements to our workplace culture and leadership approach. We wish you the best in your future career.
