Pros

The staff are friendly and so are management when you are doing well.

Cons

Well there are so many, to many forms to much admin, to many chefs ruin the broth as they say. The on thing that annoys me more than anything is the deliberate schemes to avoid anyone earning full commission - its capped also. Policy in place that at the end of the month if you hit your target anything that hasnt been invoiced drops off your figures. Completely unfair, it would be ok if they reappeared on my figures the month after but they never do and end up going into Lyrecos corporate pockets.

Pros

- Good place to learn multiple skills in different systems - You can still keep the job with poor attendance and high MC rates - No micromanagement - If you produce some outstanding results or performed in your role, management gives verbal recognitions

Cons

- Managers/department heads not capable of resolving internal issues - Too many meetings without clear objectives, not meeting deadlines and respecting people's time - No unity among department managers, they try to be best instead of working in harmony - No proper trainings/coaching given to agents, most are self-taught and taking experiences by making mistakes - No clear/defined processes, weak product/system knowledge, taking shortcuts and temporary solutions instead of focusing on long-term solutions - Poor feedback systems, senior managers frequently gossips around and quick to complain - Strong office politics - Internal issues kept increasing which leads to performance issues in different departments and increasing irate customers and complaints - No promotion unless someone leaves the organization
