Pros

Nice colleagues, free fruits, good location

Cons

Unprofessional uninterested site managers, bullying team leads with huge inferiority complexes which they let out on their team and destroy your career if they do not like you. If you do not go out with team leads, managers you will never grow in the company, brown-nosing here is appreciated. Site managers always defending team leads but never agents, if you dare to speak against your team lead - you are no longer working there! Managers do not let any complaint of agents out of the office but they hide it and punish agents for that, Headquarters do not care about employees, they only give commands and treat agents like a flock of sheep who must follow they direction they are given from above. Bonuses are removed for you being sick 3 and more days, forcing ill people to come to work! This company has so much spoiled during last 2 years. No opportunities to grow within local offices and not everyone is willing to move to rainy Amsterdam. Good people are leaving, comapny now focuses only on qwuantlty and more and more more money, which IS NOT PAID TO LOWPAID OVERSTREESSED AND JADED employees but rather spent on useless things like 2 screens!! Stop concentrating on Amsterdam, spread local offices, lower the unrealistic targets and start respecting your employees and care about them, then they will take care about customers and partners. Late shift workers are not allowed to change shift, the requirements for change are crazy and barely feasible. More for faking actions and giving another NO reply to an employee wishing to change shift.

Pros

Lots of benefits, working hours, and decent salary

Cons

They just don´t care about us people anymore. They control every little thing you do, add pressure to an already exhausting job and you have to take a good look at your payslip because HR messes up all the time... The moment they open allotment to get holidays is war, and if you work bank holidays, you cannot take the compensation day off when you want but according to business needs. That´s always the reply for everything. Nothing works, errors in the system all the time, but you are the one putting your ear to angry people 8 hours per day. Managers decide who go up, if you don´t mind liking as*es, you have to do it right, and you´ll get what you want.

Pros

There are regular distractions and promotions thrown at you, to distract you from your job. I have had two great team leaders, which strongly impacts your time at the company. Regular team outings, benefits etc Dinner is provided (though by the time we get to eat, most options are depleted). Fruit is provided (though this will run out within 5 minutes of arriving on the floor. The office view is in a good location.

Cons

The 'pros' listed above are only really created to distract you from the actual job. On the English line, it's 90% dealing with upset American callers who are very rude. not a healthy job to keep for very long. Many 'Team Leaders' and 'Seniors' have a terrible attitude and feel elite compared to the other call centre workers. I have met some awful people here. i have had a very fortunate experience as I have had some great team leaders, but coworkers who haven't been so fortunate are regularly reprimanded for going to the toilet. Whatever your results are, Booking.com doesn't care and always asks you to do more. In summary - the company tries it's hardest to distract you from the most boring and soul destroying job you will ever have.
