Pros

• Smoking area • Breaks (approved by Spanish Agreement, so it's not an advantage but a right) • 300€ card yearly (if they don't change their mind next years) • If you are performing properly you will get candies and chips from Senior Managers

Cons

• Lack of knowledge from Managers/Senior Managers that makes your work harder • Power-abusive and sometimes passive-aggressive behaviour from the Senior Management • They don't apply the Spanish Agreement still • They dismiss you for being sick (their motto might be "or we all have flu or none!") • If you apply on promotion is better to have a CLOSE PERSONAL relationship with the interviewer. • Overtime firstly wasn't paid according the Spanish Agreement • Discrimination if you speak more than TWO languages. You will get the bonus for speaking a foreign language, but English monolinguals as well • Monotonous work

One of the worse CC in bcn

Pros

Good people, multicultural environment, free drinks and fruits.

Cons

They offered benefits but you never see them. They believe because the office has a great view, you can not complain. Some managers are not approachable at all, they just go and sit for 8 hours or are in meeting all the time. They have to hire more support people and make a fair rotation, sometimes advisors have to do a job they are not paid for because there are not enough support. People team are really useless, they never know anything, it's unbelievable they depend on external companies, they never take responsibilities of their mistakes, it's always someone else's fault. Also, office in Bcn shouldn't depend that much from Manchester, Real time and resource planning are not there to help, and schedules are not equitable at all. They are more worried about doing stuff "together" but they do it the days half of the office is off, they say they love straight talking but that does not work both ways, only one. A lot of pressure, you're just a number for them, it's a lie if they say otherwise. With the excuse the office is new in BCN, they think it's ok to work this bad. Salary is not competitive at all, it's the same in every CC, not everyone on the same position earns the same god knows why. A lot of bad things to improve.

Hi and thanks for your feedback, although I am clearly disappointed by what you have to say and your rating. You raise a lot of points so I think I'll answer more generally. As you know we only opened the Barcelona office in September and we have grown very rapidly from 0 to 150+ colleagues and more to come. What we are trying to do is create the best customer service centre in Barcelona. The environment is amazing and the benefits are there (I'm not sure when you left but we have delivered the benefits we promised) Salaries are some of the highest in the area (we know they are) so whilst they may not be the highest we know they are up there. Having said all that you are right that a nice office is not the be all and end all. We have had some teething problems as you might expect in a brand new fast growth environment. We are on with listening to our colleagues and making changes to create a truly amazing place to work. Your feedback will help us with this. Thanks Ryan

Pros

Friendly, enthusiastic environment. Big company that are generous with rewards and parties for the employees. Nice office and young, international environment.

Cons

The job itself was not for me. Very monotone, only working on phone, dealing with (mostly) unhappy clients. Too much negativity.
