Big informal organisation (or lack of)

Senior marketing manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Well know brand and well-respected organisation. Good opportunity to learn but don’t expect much input from your colleagues. Good opportunities in Best Buy may come up in the future.

Cons

Below market salaries, unorganised work place, poor back-end and system support, shortsighted leadership. Extremely poor IT-support. Bullying is the way forward, not professional qualification, merits and hard work. Very poor working conditions in head office. Lack of training opportunities.

A great business to work for: organised but effective chaos

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Carphone's a dynamic and entrepeneurial company which is big on 'pride and fun': as a business Carphone is keen to be known as a great place to work. And it IS a great place to work: CPW hires and keeps talented people; the business is extremely good at what it does; overall the company isn't afraid to make decisions and there's a genuine will to want to keep employees happy. This results in low staff turnover and makes for good promotion prospects.

Cons

Overall strategy can be vague, it can be a bit 'fly by the seat of your pants' and often people are reactive because there just isn't enough time to be proactive.

Fantastic place to work if you are willing to stick your neck out and try something new!

Senior operations manager

Business Outlook

Pros

The people! All levels of management are open to new ideas, it is a very flat structure.

Cons

Can be a little unfocused. I feel that people jump a little too quickly to what Charles says. Long hours. 40 hour week is the contracted hours and often it is much longer.
