Pros

The annual bonus that's if you get paid it because it's based on if the company performs and the holiday allowance is ok.

Cons

OUT OF TOUCH middle AND senior management the majority have come from the graduate scheme which needs a big overhaul and therefore these 'leaders' only know the 'vodafone way' which is not the 2023 or modern way of working. out of touch leaders. copious amounts of red tape favouritism poor HR leadership with little employee support especially about mental health which got worse over the last few years, there is a copy and paste message currently crafted by the top circulating on linkedin to say 'diversity is not a buzz word' by many of them which in itself is so contradictory as they are all just 'copying and pasting' not saying these things by themselves little representation from fellow under represented groups at the top so they do not understand lived experience wages way below industry standard just look on here or indeed and compare vodafone salary it will go way lower than where you are and the reward team internally is full of old processes you're given little ability as a manager to reward people in your team and pay them fairly no budget for managers only 1 christmas party end of year in newbury steeped in hierarchy managers are over worked and under rewarded BLAME CULTURE

Pros

I've spent a few years at Vodafone Digital Sales. I work with good people a good manager and received a promotion and pay rise. The product is market leading, it's a good brand and people do care about each other, it's not aggressive selling. The business is going through a change in the SME team at the moment, there were a lot of people who were there a long time and had it fairly easy in the past, they became negative during the changes. Thankfully most are gone now. Lots of the negative reviews here are from people who were managed to leave, no loss. Free phone, flexible work, good pension and health, parking (pre covid), good ongoing training - new leadership in Sales + L&D is making a positive difference.

Cons

Its sales, so there is pressure to hit monthly targets!! Processes are clunky and slow Lot of admin
