Not really sure where to begin. I won’t be working here for much longer. I’m not sure what it was like 2-3 years ago but it’s not great place to work at the moment. The only thing that gets me through it is that my team are amazing. Agents are very supportive of each other and some of the team leaders are really down to earth. Most of us have never meet or spoken to the department head. Occasionally see the manager but she sits in her office most of the time. Feedback about how to improve isn’t taken on and taken as a direct criticism instead of a way to improve. The contact centre are treated like second class citizens. We have been in the office at the peak of a pandemic - taking calls and working emails throughout. We picked up tasks for other departments. Recognition is almost nonexistent. We don’t get half the opportunities the rest of the company get - most people get to go monthly company briefings each month, we can’t unless you come in early / stay late. We can’t get involved in projects unless you make the time back. The worst part is that they recently threw a summer party to thank everyone- the party was thrown in the car pack. The contact centre remained open all day - we watched people attend a party we couldn’t go too. They only allowed 5 people to change their shifts. The team leaders did organise for us to go over on our 30 minute lunches which was more than anyone else did. We have all worked so incredibly hard over the 18 months - worked non stop, long shifts, doing overtime, working 3 in 5 Saturdays, in the office at the height of a pandemic, picking up work for other departments who are still at home, and they couldn’t even let us attend a summer party for 4 hours.
