Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookI worked at iSelect
Pros
A lot of growth in the business in recent years(pity the maturity of those who manage it hasn't). You get free coffee in the morning.
Cons
Mismanaged, with no clear direction, iSelect protects its image to share holders by blaming its staff "clearing house" and "righting mistakes of the past" on a six monthly basis whilst actually succeeding in getting rid of or driving away the few remaining staff that had a clue or believed in the what the business could achieve and delivering on very few of the promises that the CEO and Board make.
Advice to Management
When the Barista in the Cafe has been in the role longer than senior management their is very little advise to be given. iSelects best hope is to be bought out by a private company and have seem real management put in place. If this doesn't happen then I guess that Barista might as well put his hand up for the CEO role as its bound to become vacant within the next few months given recent track record.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at iSelect full-time for more than a year
Pros
- Great earning potential - Well known brand so people know who you are and trust in the process - Good people and culture, everyone is there to work hard and make money - Good leadership and continuous training
Cons
- Customers compare online and although they do technically opt in for a call, they aren’t usually that glad to hear from you, so it does take skill and resilience to do the job day in day out.
