Octopus Energy reviews

Please note that you have to give it your all for the first 6 months. Not for probation but because it is very learning heavy if you’ve never worked in the industry. Best way I can describe it as is like being in uni again learning a lot of information that doesn’t really sink in for the first few months then on a random Tuesday 6 months later makes complete sense. I’d give it a 7/10 on hard because there are alot of speciality’s you need to know the basics of

No overtime pay/incentive to do so. Before I left I had received several pay rises. Despite this, youre expected to work 60-100 hours/week. This meant that most weeks my hourly rate would be below £8/hour, reaching as low as £5/hour. Took on more and more responsibilities as I "progressed", for no recognition or reward. I'm about to become a student again (PhD) and my studentship pays more than my specialist L&D Site Lead role pays more than I was ever paid at Octopus. Management demand people to learn more about how to do their job, but frown upon the idea of giving people scheduled time to learn. They expect people to do it during non-work hours. Having sat in site management meetings, the management team talk more about "the teams are underperforming" as opposed to "how can we facilitate better performance" or "what are the problems our teams are facing". Management do not know how to deal with mental health. You will only progress if you're part of the cult. There is little to no progression. No benefits Don't understand staff burnout. Claim not to be about KPIs but I also witnessed a site manager say to the team leaders "if someone on your team isn't hitting 40 interactions per day, send them to me and they're gone."
