Former employee · Full-time

What they liked

The flexibility sometimes.

What was challenging

In audit( Kpmg in Jamaica) Everything, the micromanagement, the bad-mind employees that feel threatened by you, the constant holding things over your head even when you are right. The constant overworking and no recognition because if one person doesn’t like you their friends also don’t like you. Seniors lack emotional intelligence and have no empathy in certain situations. Once you start speaking up for yourself you become the problem. Could go on and on but will stop here.

Their advice

No advice because it’s not like they care or will be changing anything.

Former employee · Full-time

What they liked

I was able to see all the things I learned in my field of study come to life working there. So It was good foundation for my career

What was challenging

At the time, the workload and the salary was not proportional. Had to do a lot of overtime to make up the base salary.

Their advice

I’d recommend working here and learning all you can. It creates a strong foundation in the pharmaceutical field for those pursuing that career.

Experienced staff · Former employee · Full-time

What they liked

The company has “main character” energy. It laces all that you do and you feel invincible. Coupled with a good budget we did great work.

What was challenging

There is an unwritten subculture that you need to leave and come back to get a promotion. It’s disheartening

Their advice

Only financial advisors, managers and up make money at Sagicor. Go when you are starting or when you are seasoned. It’s frustrating at any other time. Don’t do it.

BPO / Call Centre
4/5Would recommend

Supervisor · Former employee · Full-time

What they liked

Strong culture. Epay. Good work environment. Staff shuttle. HR & support are available onsite. Transparent pay & benefits.

What was challenging

eBay. Worst thing that happened to CNX. Get rid of that. CNX also needs an identity. Some call centers are known for sales, some for health care. CNX should focus on high end tech clientele and get rid of low paying customer service accounts with ridiculous policies and high penalties.

Their advice

Stay away from eBay. You're there for a good time, not a long time. Call centers will never be stable. Also, develop your leaders. Invest in their growth and don't just promote them without preparing them.

3/5Do not recommend

Experienced staff · Former employee · Full-time

What they liked

Fulfilling work. Team is kind.

What was challenging

The stagnation of government. Some team members don’t carry their weight so people who actually work have to do so much. Very resistant to change. Scope creep happens a lot. Employees very disengaged.

Their advice

Do your job. Learn what you can. Leave when there is no more to learn.

Current employee

What they liked

I learnt a lot but it felt like being in primary school with demons for teachers. I worked clinically. Staff are condescending and intentionally humiliating. Everyone needs PR training in how to be a decent human being. Clique culture is real and disgusting. If noone is in your corner, you'll be groping in the dark.

What was challenging

Dealing with colleagues and superiors who lack basic human decency. Almost as if they had zero home training and were just released into the wild. Also extremely long work hours, unappreciative and unreasonably demanding superiors. Strict autocratic hierarchy.

Their advice

Learn as much as you can. Attempt to network as much as your morals tolerate, to ensure you aren't sabotaged. Then either leave or help to improve the system.
