Pros

good working Environment, friendly co workers, working with cutting edge technology, currently a good training scheme in place and opportunity to increase salary but not by much.

Cons

There is a huge salary discrepancy between staff and management. Too much pressure on the lowest paid staff and too much money going to the management team. As a result management tend to push staff to preform better to justify their inflated salaries to their peers while not actually contributing much if anything themselves. The commission is almost non existent and the work very stressful if your in a big store. Almost nobody stays more than a year.

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.
