What are call and contact centre agents saying about pay at Barclays?
-
Best thing
Pay, private health care, bonuses
Worst thing
Even if you are disabled or have diagnoses everything is 'only a recommendation'. Sickness leniency is a joke if you have conditions that will obviously make you be off more, expect warnings.

Pay, travel, bad management

Best thing
Helping customers and colleagues
Worst thing
They don't care about staff. You're just a number to them. All the policies and procedures to appear as though they are inclusive and helpful and care - but they don't practice what they preach. It's wildly discussed through colleagues about how poor it is. Pay increase based on performance so isn't in line with the cost of living increasing. Expected to be in earlier but don't get paid for it. Some of the leaders are not that, they don't lead they just dictate. Could help but they don't.

Best thing
The pay is good for what we do. The staff are friendly, the management are transparent around staffing, the direction the bank are moving in, they’re open and honest about everything that’s going on.
Worst thing
Abusive customers… although few and far between. Other colleagues under-perfoming.
