Pros

Have worked with some nice people through working in various different stores learned some skills that would be useful for a better job

Cons

Poor pay No significant appreciation from the area manager, no matter how hard you work yourself into the ground for them, mainly negative comments and nit picking (may be specific to my region) The people at head office level are so far removed from store level they have no idea what it takes to hit the UNREALISTIC and ever INCREASING targets they throw out every month The company keeps changing there focus, and jumps on any band wagon that comes along, making it hard to keep up The training when joining the company is non-existent, consisted of them telling to to sell insurance and accessories and not much else, they leave it up to the existing staff to manage a busy store and train you They have introduced new EECC tablets, no prior training leave you to figure them out the fact that the tablets don't work 99.5% of the time, shouldn't get in the way of you using them, and instead of support, you get threatened with the sack if you don't use them???? and why, because they sank thousands into it and need to keep the shareholders happy. For these reasons and many more, myself and many others either have or are leaving the company, its a sinking ship that won't get any better - so happy to be leaving!

Pros

Ive worked with some nice consultants

Cons

Incredibly poor managment at store level (with exception being last branch) Area management DISGUSTINGLY inadequate and in most cases non exsistant, no support given what so ever! Your opinion is NOT respected, when you raise serious issues to the AM you hope you would be taken seriously - however you get nothing You get far in this company if you are a suck up! Company couldn't care less about their employees, no appreciation for working yourself into the ground for them Training when joining the company consists of them telling you to sell insurance and nothing else, then you get thrown in at the deep end They implement new 'exciting' EECC tablets that 99.5% of the time dont work but apparently thats not a good enough reason not being able to use them????? And you get threatened with being sacked if you dont use them??? And why? Because the company have thrown thousands into the project, and by the way we WEREN'T trained to use them! The company is a sinking ship, one that I and loads more are ESCAPING! Oh and one last thing, this company think twice about stabbing you in the back, after all we are 10 a penny! Disposable!

Pros

Team is brilliant. Brilliant way to develop yourself personally, especially if it is a first job. Good employee discount scheme.

Cons

Absolutely no appreciation for the team. Nowhere to progress above "store level" unless you come from outside the business. Horrendous shift patterns, little notice when shifts change.
