Smart Save Reviews
i am like any other lad in Derry just trying to work hard and make a living. I worked for another elecrtic company and was making a good living even though it was commison when i was phoned by the 'so called director' of the company deane who said he heard i was good at sales and he would like me to come and talk to him about joining the lads in derry. When i met deane and his side kick connor they said id make more money with them guaranteed and ill get holidays and beacuse ive got a kid i can finish up early a few days a week if im hitting tagets. He said he would personally come out and work with me (as he was quick to point out my current director would never get off his 'fat a**' to help us and thats why im better with him and his side kick conor. i started with them and what there promise couldnt have been further from thr truth!! the 'generous' commision package that was offered was never paid to by myself or any of the sales team.. well actually it was always hit but there was always a b******* reason why our bonuses werent paid. Every time we asked for a pay slip.. once again more excuses.. tax dodging b******* spring to mind. As for getting off early... i did more sales than anyone else and was told if i hit 5 they would cover me but when i called to say i was done no one would answer so i went anyway which was 30mins early WTF!! the promise of the 'directors' coming out to help hahahaha aye dead on not a sight of either of them. the 'help' was some guy that was away half the time picking up his kid.. joke. I would never go near these cow boys again how they work with sse airticity is just a joke... shows They don't care about there staff and dont pay for sales that are done. im now back at my old job getting paid on time and getting help by people that give a s**t and pay for sales that you do. Derry is a hard enough place to get a job that isnt in a call centre so we dont need local lads ripping off local people, dodging tax at the expense of our community.
Anyone who is thinking of joining Smart Save, SSE Airtricity door to door sales team I think you should have read of this first!! I worked in the Derry / Londonderry office for several months, I made a lot of sales working on the SSE Airtricity campaign, at the time I was on top of the world thinking how much I was earning! They constantly lied, they lied to me in the interview saying we dont start until 12 and we finish at 8, when i started i found out that you basically had to be in the office most day at 10:30 for training. This training was mandatory the hours but yet they failed to pay you even though you were employed!! They said you’d be working in your local area but of course when you started you were travelling from one end of the country to the other. You stopped being paid at 8 but not getting home to 11 at night. Really bad considering they didn’t cover travel expenses! Once you were there a few weeks they even asked you to lie to customers. The guy Dean Doherty who is in charge pushes you to get more sales "by any means, even if you have to lie to put customers on a higher tariff....disgusting!! So I had to go. I worked with a few people, decent people who could easily hit their sales target, however if they were given a tough territory working in awful council estates the sales trainer would say they had 'lost their attitude' or didnt 'play the numbers game'. Disgusting concidering they had no help and were selling a really poor product! A month later and I haven’t regretted leaving, I still speak to some of my old work mates and find it so sad when they tell it hasnt changed since I left. I feel so sorry for them as I know they’re finding it hard to get other work. If ur thinking of joining Smart Save in Derry / Londonderry don’t! It was fun for the first while as they host fun nights out to try to retain people but after that youre completely brainwashed and find it very difficult to leave as your guilted into staying. From what I’ve heard they’ve now opened an office in Belfast so if you come across them stay well clear!
