Thank for leaving a review of your time with us. I'm pleased to read that you liked some of the benefits of working in our Customer Ops team such as the free flowing food and drinks on offer so all employees can have breakfast and lunch and no cost. I'm sorry to hear about how you perceived a lack of progression. As Director of Customer Operations I've extremely proud that 75% of our frontline leaders in install support teams are internal promotions. All our hiring decisions are based on who is the best candidate for the job and we encourage anyone who feels they are not getting the recognition they deserve to discuss this in 121's with line manager and utilise the many other communications channels we have so everyone has the opportunity to be heard. I regularly respond to feedback and have open and valuable conversations 121 with our awesome frontline team members, as do the rest of the leadership team, as you'll know being a member of the team in the past. These conversations help to give clarity on what you can do to develop your aspirations for leadership and focus on the things you need to do, as well as support your understanding of the reality of our leadership progression, which in our case has created an extremely diverse leadership team across our various offices. Thanks for your time with us and the work you did helping our customers. Wishing you well in future endeavours. Ben Palmer

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
