hi

i was wondering if anyone had a recuritment number for the freemans call centre in sheffield?

have pm'd it to you

Could i please have the number aswell!?

I worked at Freemans for 2 years, and if I remember rightly, the number is 0114 2635555

was that in the call centre? what was it like cos im thinking about it. what sort of things did you have to do?

yeah it was in the call centre. It's okay for a bit of money. It was great for me @ the time, because it gave me two years call centre experience and paid my wages for 2 years.

I've now moved on to a place where the money is better, and the atmosphere is better than @ freemans.

I'm not knocking it, like I said, it was a job and at the time, I thought it was brill.

But now I've left, I've realised that whilst there are worse employers, there are also better employers.

I believe the wages there now are £5.80 an hour. There is also a staff shop, plus staff discount from items ordered from the catalogue. There is also a gym and swimming pool, or at least there was when I was there.

The hours I worked were a bit crap, as I worked 7am in a morning until 4pm in the afternoon on a Saturday and Sunday. I know they operate from 7am until midnight 7 days a week. So if you're offered a job, be prepared to be given the rubbish hours no one wants like I was. You are able to change your contracted hours, but only if there are other hours available. You may have to wait a while to see what hours come up on the staff notice board.

If there is anything else anyone wants to know, just ask.

by the way, when I applied there were a few stages to the interview process.

I had a telephone interview. Then I was invited to a keyboard test and then I had a face to face interview as well.

when you had your telephone interview did they invite you to keyboard one straight away?

I rang in the July for the telephone interview and I got asked back in the September for the keyboard test and face to face interview. I then started my training on 1 October.

hi my dad owns that ha ha ha suckers ;)

get me a job then!

I worked there for a bit and it was ok except for the poo hours (was doing the evening shift) and the fact i had a pretty weak supervisor. Wasn't there when i started so got thrown in at the deep end with very little help, and when she did turn up she had a go at me as i'd been one minute late back from one of my breaks. the fact i'd started 5-10 minutes early every day didn't seem to matter. They did let me leave early to catch my tram tho, which i'd arranged with the recruitment people rather then her, so i think the company are reasonable but some of the supervisors have problems.

Oh be wary of the cafe - i got a bout of food poisoning from a BLT they sold me (as did somone else on my team) Not really their fault as they come pre-sealed but not pretty either. I didn't eat there again :)
