Great People
Customer Service Advisor (Current Employee) – Annesley, Nottinghamshire – 10 November 2018
Started work here, zilch training and straight on the phone, with no knowledge mistakes are frequent meaning the amount of customer dissatisfaction is massive. The management here need to take a hard look at how they manage this centre and start bottom up with training & supporting new staff in some form of grad bay to ongoing training and coaching. 6 weeks in I still hadn't been involved in a team meeting or 121 coaching, objective setting etc. They need a constant support on the floor and the Team Leaders need increasing with a serious amount of work on their shoulders, I pity the Customer Experience people who deal with all the waste that these issues are causing. Other than that the actual people are fantastic and would be much more of a team with more commitment should they be involved in daily/weekly performance chats providing them an understanding of strategy, goals and current position against targets. It's very much a come in, sit down and answer the calls situation which is having a detrimental effect as the majority of staff despise the managers, not great for a team that aims to be successful. It's not all about numbers, it's the staff and if you support them they will deliver your strategy, remember that and things will improve. Simple really

Great place to work
Customer Support Engineer (Current Employee) – London, Greater London – 23 January 2019
I recommend anyone to join RM
work is very challenging but rewarding at the same time
You get to meet very well rounded people and i'll be surprised if you don't learn anything in the first year

Avoid at all costs
Customer Service Advisor (Former Employee) – Annesley, Nottinghamshire – 3 December 2018
We were given barely a days training if that’s what you call it, and shown how to key paper orders in. We were supposed to be trained on phones but they had no time to train us.
We literally spent hours wielding thumbs and staring out windows as nothing to do it was awl.
Management don seem to have a clue what’s going on, and they should seriously take part in undercover boss to really discover the environment and how workers speak about colleagues and customers, it’s dispicable.
The hardest part o job is being bored rigid, and when ask for somthing to do they tell you there isn’t anything, yet they complain about to busy to train.
It’s blatently obvious that any of the perm staff really don’t like temps, and they show it in the cruelest of ways.
There’s a gat deal of bullying and oppressive atmosphere within the contact centre, and very unhappy people.
Enjoyable part was Day I left.
This company needs a good shakeup and quickly before somthing really serious happens .

Good Afternoon,
I think you have us mixed up with another company and have comment on the wrong one.
We are based in the North East of England and don't employ anyone from Nottinghamshire.
Please could you remove the review.
Many thanks

Good work bad company
1st Line Support Engineer (Former Employee) – Bellshill, North Lanarkshire – 31 October 2018
I was a first line support engineer which meant on a daily basis i was answering calls, fixing problems and logging the service required for over 600 schools across the UK.
Pros
Easy work if you know about computers
Cons
some times you'll need to start work at 7 or not finish till 6
Great for honing skills, poor for appreciation and morale.
Category Manager (Current Employee) – Kirkby in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire – 3 August 2018
Initial a great person to learn the tools of the trade, but quickly became corporate with unobtainable targets with poor appreciation of staff and morale.
Pros
Work colleagues
Cons
Senior management
Employees aren't very engaged
Business Development Manager (Former Employee) – London – 29 May 2018
Employees aren't very engaged. I perceive the company to have slightly lost direction in the recent years. They are traditionally a company that used to sell machines, not sure if they know how to sell software and technology.
Do not care about staff
Lead Generator (Former Employee) – Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire – 10 May 2018
As soon as I got ill needed 4 days off they cancelled my contract. Sorry, but you can’t help being ill.. so if you get a job here I’d advise to not get poorly

Good company to work for
Key Account Advisor (Current Employee) – Annesley, Nottinghamshire – 11 January 2018
It's a good company to work for and there are opportunities for progression. The salary and overall package, however, is poor. Management actively seek feedback and this is sometimes acted upon.
A good company
2nd Line Support Engineer (Former Employee) – Horsham – 29 November 2017
Resolving issues with the suite of products installed at 100's of schools.
The hardest part of the job was being transferred to Abingdon.
The most enjoyable part was assisting the IT managers at the schools.

Excellent company to work for.
Apprentice Customer Service Engineer (Former Employee) – Manchester, Greater Manchester – 20 February 2017
I learnt a lot of things working with this company. Every day was different as I was based on site within a school. Honestly, I would have liked more interaction with network infrastructure, but I still enjoyed the day to day tasks as a whole.
I met with my manager once or twice a month, which is fine as these meeting always covered everything we had to talk about. The managers are always very grateful of the effort the engineers put in and will help you not only with work problems, but problems outside of work to, they're very down to earth. All the team members were always down for a laugh too.
The hardest part of the job? there wasn't really any challenging parts to this job apart from difficult customers from time to time, especially when our servers dropped for whatever reason. I really enjoyed the entire job as a whole, best working year of my life so far, highly recommend working for this company. Not to mention they provide any training you want to take and will assist you in your personal development in any way they can.

Great company to work for.
Sales Adviser (Former Employee) – Didcot, Oxfordshire – 15 February 2017
Large organisation, based in Didcot, oxon. Left many years ago, but was the place to work at the time. Gone through many changes now, so can't comment fully on what it is like now.
Great Place to Work
Resource Controller (Former Employee) – Abingdon, Oxfordshire – 18 January 2017
RM on the whole is a great immersive place to work; the people and the ethic are the main attributes towards this.
The management although lenient in allowing workplace chat and interaction have a tendency to distance themselves from their subordinates creating a barrier between the SMT.
The atmosphere within RM is one of an enlarged family and in that is unlike any other place I've worked previously. Your colleagues take an invested interest and go out of their way to help you and make you feel welcome.
Across the majority of the teams it's very seasonal, within school term times it tends to be quieter and the main focus gearing towards the high intensity of the summer and school holiday periods.
The most enjoyable part of this job aside from working within a friendly team is the benefit that you feel as though your working towards bettering school and teaching environments. At RM the customer really does come first and is at the core of everything they strive towards.
