    BE WARNED - NOT ALL IT IS CRACKED UP TO BE!!!

    I'm in retention since February this year and it has not lived up to my expectations...
    If you like change at short notice then this is the place for you..
    Shifts are rubbish and lately they are changed on a daily basis to "suit business needs".
    Example is been given a days notice to go from early to late or vice versa.
    Management are a joke and still after 3 months they do not know what is a save or not which is how you make commission. This also changes daily...
    They ask you to be flexible, but you get a warning for been late, but if you are stuck on a call for an hour after shift you get no time in lieu etc

    In summary, if you like change and poor management then this is the place for you...

    Just wondering why is there constantly so many jobs seemingly on offer at Sky ? Is this due to high turnover of staff as going by this thread people are regularly starting in new positions .

    Nope, because its a start up call centre. Its gradually ramping up staffing levels at the moment

    Having gotten through round 1 assessment, and due to have stage two, received a call this week confirming my attendance at the stage two and all, but just been called to say all part time positions are now full so they won't be recruiting any further ones but will put my name on list for if any further part time ones comes up.


    Absolutely gutted, really am

    I'm sure similar ones will come up something like that happened to me I had my 2 assessments for Sales Advisor They emailed me to say I wasn't successful but to apply for service. When I did this they offered me a position for the next round of part-timers so keep applying.

    A friend of mine was only at a 1st stage interview for service today so surely they are still recruiting?? Was it Sales you went for?

    No it was Service Advisor - Part Time

    They still have full time positions available, it was PT I had applied for and gotten through stage 1, they said I can still go ahead stage 2 for full time if i wanted.

    Ah thats a pity my poor mate obviously wont get a 2nd interview either. I'm sure you'll hear something from them in the next few weeks as the are always taking on people.

    Commission not set in stone yet - it is based on saves, conversion rates and Cstat feedback from customers. On average probably looking between 200-300 Per Month

    Had interview in 1st round for part time position today and got voice mail this evening advising that part time positions on hold and if I wanted full time position to advise them.

    I would prefer part time over full time but will ring tomorrow to find out how long it'll be till part time position becomes available.

    Am wondering why this sudden change...is the call centre struggling??

    I dont think it would be a struggling thing, I think it would be moreso a case that from a cost per head point of view if they can now get full time people in as opposed to part time then the recruitment and on-boarding costs will be lower. So from a business point of view instead of 2 sets of benefits and costs etc they only have the one - Also it could be moeso scheduling / resource management as instead of recruiting more part time people to cover evening shifts you may find that the full time shifts are ow different to maximise the workforce

    Eg if they had intended to take people on to cover 6-11 instead, the may now adjust the full time shifts ot be 3-11 if they have found that their call flow profile is showing they are quiet day times - meaning no point having loads of people in.

    but i could be totally wrong ! When I queried re the part time they said that should any part time positions become available in the future those who were successful at stage one would be kept in a priority list and then contact and they could return to the process for stage two as originally intended.

    Yea you could be right there.....so are you on the list for part time? I do wonder how long that would be....

    Well Im going to go for the assessment as I genuinely really want the job, although ideally PT would have suited better for me - it would mean if I do get the full time role then I will just need to re-arrange a good bit of stuff I do.

    Think of it this way.

    You have absolutely nothing to lose by saying you would like to be considered for the full time role and then going on for the stage 2 assessment, nothing at all :)

    Why do you think a reshuffle or in what gives you that feel?

    Im kinda thinking what if I do go for full time & get it but then it all changes a few weeks in.


    Overall do you find them a good employer?


    also ....does anyone have info on the incentives / targets etc for the service role or what potential there is for earning with them?


    Thanks so much
