Pros

-Working alongside good people on a daily basis -Great staff discounts on in store products and phone contracts -difficult to look beyond that!

Cons

-Commission structure is laughable (with some sales earning you just 25p) -Company is forever changing goalposts in terms of which KPIs need to be focused on -Inflated targets which the stores struggle to hit -Text message system used to gain feedback from customers is very ambiguous and can cost you 30% of your hard earned monthly bonus if a certain level isn't achieved. -Company won't offer full time contracts to loyal employees and instead likes to hire students on a part time basis who require new training -pinpoint tablet used to "enhance the customer experience" isn't fit for purpose, making you look inadequate on there shopfloor when it crashes. - Have witnessed on several occasions, as soon as employees question the decisions of management, they are moved to another branch rather than having their opinions heard.

Pros

The most rewarding part of the job was working with my coworker and genuinely helping customers. There was a good moral at my store.

Cons

The job was pressure sales and at times it seemed like management wanted us to lie to customers to make sales. Management tried to make us sell services that no body actually wanted and then tried to make us feel like the customer would benefit.
