Pros

Very friendly co-workers Operating system (Kraken) is very easy to use and greatly increases working efficiency Easy to find help when needed Everyone works together Great training programs to get you up to speed Flexible working, no tight scheduling over the day, you are trusted to get done what you need to in the day Can work from home if needed Anyone in the company is easy to reach, even to managers and directors Use of slack (communications program) means you can reach anyone at any time Job progression Share scheme Free drinks on Friday Valuable learning* You are trained to be able to look after a customer from start to finish, not just one 'section' of a customer journey. You are given time to explore other things, like coding etc. if you have an interest in it

Cons

Aside from the occasional angry customer you have to deal with (like any other customer service role), there is not one downside I can think of.

Pros

Coming into the job was a bit daunting as I had never been in the energy industry before, but every single person within the company is there to lend a helping hand whenever you need it! The job is filled with so many aspects to keep you on your toes every day, with teams and management that are there to support you with anything you could possibly need. They understand that sometimes mental health can be a bit overwhelming, and will never ask you to work yourself into the ground. You don't need to be asked to work hard in this job, you're grateful for the opportunity to be recognised and have pride in your work and customer service!

Cons

In my 4 months within the company I can honestly say I have not found anything that I don't like. But you're welcome to come and try!

Pros

Plenty of feedback to prepare you for future interviews with guidance and support between each one. Everyone who was part of my recruitment was super friendly and helpful. No waiting around, speedy replies and updates.

Cons

Long interview process but probably necessary to find the right person for the job!
