sparkle   10 #1 Posted May 25, 2003 Hi!  I am moving to Sheffield shortly and am looking for work in a call centre / insurance environment (I have insurance exams)  Can anyone advise me who the big employers are for this type of work, who are supposed to be the best / worst to work for and what the pay is like.  Thanks!  Jo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
mikey   10 #2 Posted May 25, 2003 Norwich Union have a big presence in Sheffield, it is their second base outside of Norwich.  HSBC is also a big employer in Sheffield, but not sure if they have call centres here, mainly IT headquarters.

Mo   10 #8 Posted June 4, 2003 Are the call centres still taking on new people? Last I heard was that some of the ones in the Dearne Valley were transferring to India - cheap labour and all that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
richard   10 #9 Posted June 4, 2003 HSBC has some work going in the near future on a helpdesk for mostgages in Sheffield. You get heavily trained for the work because it's for mortgages and you have to know most of everything to get on the helpdesk since they dont do that "press 1 if you want to know your balance, press 2 if you want more money to borrow, press 3 if you want to know how your remortgage is progressing, press 4 if you want some thing else " (4) "You want something else, we are transfering you to a phone box in the middle of a welsh valley 10 miles from a house as there is a better chance of someone answering. thankyou for your call."
