HSBC/First direct Bad company to work… HSBC/First direct Bad company to work for! training was made to feel very uncomfortable and gave me anxiety due to 12 total assessments and your made to put your scores in a group chat so everyone can see what you got. Referencing/vetting is a joke you speak to 5 or 6 different people in recruitment sending over multiple peace’s of personal information and they ask for more and more want every part of your life for 10 years even when they have given you the job and have started already. Worse company I have ever worked at don’t believe a word that they say in training it’s all for show.

Nope Some of the nicest and funniest people ive worked with. However the company itself and the managing staff? Big no. Monitor your visits to the toilet, have to have phone in locker which makes it a nightmare if you are expecting calls or if someone tries to reach you for an emergency. 0 flexibility, awfull salary. They only focus on numbers and not their employees. new hires come go like its a brothel. Within 6 months of working there there are most likely only a handfull of people left from when you started. Wouldnt recommend even for the young and naive to work here.

Stacey is off to flying start! Stacey is a new agent and she was patient and made everything very clear. That meant any worries were dealt with and all questions answered. Good job.

Sweatshop call-farm being used for… Sweatshop call-farm being used for cheap support by major corporations. Totally toxic, apathetic, and running afoul of local laws. They are so far off the mark of genuine effort I couldnt even give them constructive feedback - that requires a person who cares.

4 redundancies in 3 years 4 redundancies in 3 years. Campaigns constantly being moved abroad so UK staff made redundant. Toxic environment where you only do well if you suck up to managers. Avoid if you want job security and fair pay.
