Customer Service Advisor
“Following my probation, I would like to say I am really happy working for Direct Line Group. I pretty much like everything about the role, I feel needed and wanted by colleagues and customers. The values of the company are excellent for the customers. I like that the calls are somewhat repetitive, but still each call is still different as each customer is different. I find the Flex type tool was so helpful and I use it on every call. I hope to be able to develop throughout my career at Direct Line Group. I was a bit worried about the tech side of things to begin with and even though I am still not 100% but learning every day.”
