    Well done mate.

    I've worked at Ventura a couple of times over the years and in lots of call centres. You can have fun. You will meet lots of girls thats for sure. They give you quite a bit of training at Ventura which is a laugh, but you won't really learn until they put you on the phone. But at some call centres you get no training so Ventura is good with that. You also get a Next discount card!

    Another good thing is that there is always an opportunity to progress. People are often leaving so if you stick around you can become a team leader or trainer or coach after a while.

    On the down side, there is always a high turnover of staff which means the standard of service the customers receive is often poor and you will be left picking up the pieces. But after a few months it will be very easy for you.

    One thing I have found with Ventura they do have a tendency to treat u like kids.

    But all in all a decent place to work matey. :) Have fun!

    I agree with that

    Made some good mates there and since i've left we've become even better mates.</p>

    The holiday system is cack tho.</p>

    &quot;I request 6 days so i can go abroad&quot;</p>

    &quot;Computer says you can have the first 4 days, then the last one but you must work the 5th day&quot;</p>

    5th day comes &quot;Its me, I cant make it to work as i'm stuck in orlando and the transport isnt available&quot;</p>

    I don't ever want to be like Hugh Grant!</p>

    There's no customers here (all online orders) so I'm in no danger of having to meet anyone like Julia Roberts.</p>

    Thought I wish it was like Black Books</p>
