Working day
Customer Service Advisor (Former Employee), Wirral, ENG – May 31, 2013
My typical work day is generally taking calls for phone registration and dealing with handset problems and mobile phone queries. I have learned to be patient and try to perform my job in the most efficient way i can. Management is there to give myself and my co-workers advice and direction when needed and to ensure we are providing the necessary service – more... to our customers. My co-workers are carrying out the same procedures as myself and can sometimes lend a hand when not engaged in a call to offer support and advice. Each employee must make their service fast and effective and offer the customer friendly and useful information. The hardest part of my job is when there is a problem that is difficult to deal with and may need some assistant from a manager to overcome also the unsociable hours. The best part of my job was to know that if i can i am helping someone to get past a problem and take on the challenge of resolving any issues the customer may have. – less

Senior Sales Advisor (Current Employee), Essex – May 10, 2013
There are some great people working in Vodafone retail stores however the people managing the whole company are trying to save money and the people at the bottom (in stores) are paying for it.

Bad company to work for
Customer services (Current Employee), Stoke – February 5, 2013
Pros: staff phone
Cons: to many to list
Vodafone claim to be a great company to work for, I would agree if your definition of great is poor working conditions, un-obtainable expectations from above but on the plus side i get a staff phone at 50% discount

Very busy and happy work place.
telephonist (Former Employee), Valencia, Spain – February 4, 2013
Pros: met lots of friends.
Cons: the job never felt secure.
A typical day at work involved me dealing with all kinds of clients, some nice and some not so nice, I had to find solutions for the problems they had.

The best thing i learned from this job was to listen well so i could help the client the best way possible.

The management in general were ok with me.

I made lots of new friends there and i am still – more... very good friends with them now.

The more difficult thing was i had to keep up to date with all the new products and offers that came out every few weeks.

I liked the hours that i worked and also the fact that i could change with other work mates days and hours to help suit me when needed. – less

Friendly staff, but stressful conditions.
Sales Advisor (Former Employee), York – December 3, 2012
Pros: learning new things about new technology
Cons: pressure, stressful conditions with high targets to hit
Working for Vodafone was a brand new challenge for me as it was entering myself into an industry I had never been involved in. But for a good year I did enjoy it, got on well with staff and management but the intensity of hitting high targets just did not suit me. But I do not regret my time there.

Busy and productive workplace
Call Agent (Former Employee), Newry – December 3, 2012
Working for Vodafone was quite demanding. They are very strict on timekeeping. The hardest part of the job is being able to keep calm and be patient with the customers. There is a lot of abuse from customers but it gets easier. There is a lot to learn and you can learn new information everyday. Sometimes it can become over whelming but there are a lot – more... of people around you to help. The team leaders are great, the floor walkers are better. They are experienced agents and if you find that you are having a particularly difficult call they can take over the call and resolve the situation. – less

Good Place to work
Onsite Co-Ordinator (Current Employee), Farmoor, Oxford – October 27, 2012
Pros: vodafone benefits
Cons: travel and high cost in petrol money
Vodafone are a very good company to work for! I work as an Onsite Co-ordinator within one of Vodafone's Corporate Customers.
I work with one other Vodafone colleague, and work daily taking calls from customer, end users and also work from emails, between 25-50 emails a day and taking about 20+ calls. Also do alot of bespoke reporting for the customer – more... and attend meetings with the customer and management of Vodafone 1-2 times a month.
I have learnt to be very self sufficient as only see my manager once a month, so have to be able to have excellent time management skills and work management skills.
Hardest part of the job is balancing everything espeically when its very busy,but I always will ensure I do the most important thing first. I would always take a call before working on an email and if we have a customer come up to us, I would deal with then over the calls. Its all about balance.
I enjoy being self sufficient and having the trust to just get on with my job. Also get to work from home, which is great , and sometimes helps as my job is 40-60mins away from home. – less
