Unsociable, Repetitive, Unstimulating, Long Hours. During training I thought "How am i getting £24,000 to sit here watching videos all day?!". 2 weeks in i realised that they are paying so much cause it's such low-quality work. THIS IS THE JOB: Watch 1000 TikToks everyday for 8 hours. Sounds easy right?... Wrong! Often come accross some terribly triggering content which you will inevitably need counselling for (you couldn't imagine the disturbing content i've seen on that app). Sat on my bum staring into space for 9 hours watching some 50 year-old dance to Jason Derulo isn't my idea of a banging Sunday evening at 11.30 pm. Oh yeh, that reminds me. The rota changes each week. 8 till 5 or 3pm till Midnight (they dont tell you this in the interview). 3 month probation within which time all sick days are unpaid by the way (got a warning for booking a COVID test for not giving 'enough notice'). You'll hardly ever get weekends off so say goodbye to sinking 18 pints with your mates in the pub watching Villa spank Liverpool 7 - 2 on a perfect Saturday afternoon. HR non existent. Everything from emails to training is all in Chinese. I've even started to speak Cantonese in my sleep after sitting at my desk translating all of my emails trying to get my dental filling reimbursed. Everyone has to work Christmas Day unless you request leave and that'll take till Christmas anyway to get approved. Have to work all public holidays as well. I've probably forgotten a lot more but my fingers hurt from typing now.
