Pros

- Talented and dedicated individuals in customer service advisor roles, fostering a collaborative and supportive team atmosphere. - Modern office environment with state-of-the-art facilities, offering complimentary hot beverages to enhance employee comfort and well-being. - Convenient location in Newcastle, easily accessible by public transportation and ideal for those living locally. - Regularly hosted events and social activities, creating opportunities for team bonding, networking, and a positive workplace culture. - Opportunities for networking and collaboration across departments, promoting cross-functional learning and relationship-building.

Cons

- Excessive workload, often leading to burnout and negatively impacting overall work-life balance for employees. - Lack of flexibility in both scheduling and work-from-home options, making it difficult for employees to manage personal or family responsibilities. - Limited consideration for individual needs from management, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that overlooks personal circumstances and well-being.

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to write such detailed feedback. As a young company, we appreciate all feedback, as it helps us to keep improving our colleague experience. Firstly, we’re pleased to hear there were so many aspects of working at Xplor you enjoyed. We agree with you – we’ve got some amazing, talented Xplorers, and we love our Newcastle office. It’s vibrant, bright and a great place to come to work. That said, it’s clear there was a lot you didn’t enjoy too. We’re sorry to hear that. You’ve been really specific, so we’ll share this feedback directly with the leaders in Newcastle, so we can continue to improve. Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback, and we wish you all the best for your next role.

Pros

I still get to work with the team I was acquired with (those who weren't unceremoniously canned at least).

Cons

-Insists on a hyper rigid corporate model, and it shows everywhere. In product development, leadership, HR. There's so much bureaucracy and rigidity in getting an answer to anything and all it means at the end of the day is that everyone you go to for help or clarification will pass the buck to the next guy. -Zero regard for employees as people. These people are cheap cheap cheap. It shows in salaries and benefits (worst US medical premium coverage I've ever seen), but also in subjecting employees to using terrible outdated tools, and in laying people off at a moment's notice with no regard for them or the workloads of those left behind. HR/People team where it seems like nobody knows what to do or how to help; everything is someone else's job. -It is a mess internally. It's a company made up of 20+ other products/brands, and nobody's talking to each other because nobody even can talk to each other. Everyone's on different systems, different payroll, different Slack, different Teams, two different versions of every policy, it's a joke. -It's depressing as hell watching them buy up other companies, fire half of them, and suck the soul out of those left behind. -I had a job I loved before we merged with Xplor. It's been less than a year here now and I cannot get out of here fast enough.
