9yThank you for your review and for your positive feedback, recommending OC for giving you the ‘opportunity to acquire skills for working in the corporate sector’. Thank you for confirming that our recruitment team did highlight how important Elites are to our business; the different levels of progression they will be exposed to; the mobile aspect of the role and the movement between sites.
The Elite position, which is essential and important to our business and clients, ensures cover during times of holiday, sickness and absences for our 200 plus sites. The role is fast-paced and requires an exceptionally talented person who is versatile, adapting to changes quickly, as sometimes it is unforeseen. Our Operations team are in constant communication with Elites when making changes to their schedule for the day and keep them up-to-date with moves.
We do our best to accommodate requests for time off, however as in any company there will be times when business demands make this difficult.
We’re very proud of the Elite position and it is highly regarded in our industry. Many of the team who perform well and seeks progression move into exciting opportunities within OC. We provide training that benefits and develops our employees’ current skills and prepare them for future career opportunities that may arise.
We offer employees benefits such as enhanced pension scheme, employee discounts (e.g. tastecard) and a ‘Recommend a Friend’ scheme. As you have pointed out, Elites are provided with a travel allowance which is a great benefit and many of our Elites have said how appreciative they are as the allowance helps reduce their travel costs.
We encourage engagement throughout the company and provide the opportunity for teams to meet each other at company events, such as engagement roadshows, which we run regularly throughout the year. We have received fantastic feedback about these.
The uniform varies from site to site and it is not standard for all our receptionists to wear pearls and a bun. We have a dedicated Wardrobe department who can assist employees with any uniform queries, should they have any, to ensure their uniform is comfortable and fitted properly. Please note, we do ask the uniform to be returned in good condition, as this is company property.
We are sorry that this fast paced role did not meet your requirements and we hope that you are now in a more suited role.
