Pros

discount training is good and boosts your pay but still not a lot

Cons

pay is awful for the stress we have to deal with, supervisors or customer champions as we call them don't do anything but dish out orders like we are slaves and never help you just stand there and talk with the other management. supervisors are meant to lead by example and help sales not just to brush off every customer they come in contact with or shout half way across the store saying customer in mda go to them. half of management cant even do b2b, they want you to put normal customers on b2b just to hit targets. they also tell you to give false info to get cables that aren't worth £80 pounds there a con. half the products on the system say they are in stock but are on display but management wont move to non pristine as will affect there bonus which I believe is disgusting as customers reserve these items and travel all the way to the store and then find out they are not in stock. only get a half hour break even on a 9 hour shift no fresh water dispenser in staff room only normal sink with dirty glasses to drink from. giving customers care plans free for the first month or first 3 months in hope they wont cancel. just a horrible place to work no care for your life your a slave to the system no Christmas bonus, no care for you stay well away

Pros

a few good folk in the Yorkshire area. It's sad to see them dwindle there talents at such a ethically corrupt company.

Cons

I i work in a store full time and i have for over 3 years, it has gone from a great place to work to a horroble place to work in the last 12 months. since the merger with dixons the companies targets have become unrealistic, those who are achieving these targets are doing so by mis-selling and doing wrong by the customer, it leaves people who prefer to be honest and stick to guidelines left behind. Anyone has access to discount and nothing is properly checked so some employees are using these tools to sculpt the sales to get them in green. When these issues have been raised the management out right ignore you. I don't enjoy writing these kind of reviews but as myself and many other of my ethical colleagues have experienced, it is getting much worse and I wouldn't wish anyone this kind of stress and unpleasantness from an employer. I wish I could say the bonus made up for these discrepancies but alas they are terrible and now made almost impossible to achieve. luckily I have some interviews and it looks as I am about to be out of this job but I hope who ever reads this will seriously reconsider before thinking about taking a position at this terrible company
