Pros

looks good on CV. People are great

Cons

no transparency, every project is delegated on a need to know basis, no holistic picture is ever given. Long hours with unpaid overtime expected encourage a culture of fear they do not care for their employees or their employee happiness, even employees of 10 years will be happily thrown under the bus (i was there for 6) hr do not care for employees they are more henchmen for the board

Pros

Greatest bunch of people you will ever work with. Real unity between the other stores. People help people because of the ethos of nastiness from above.

Cons

Bad discount, no work life balance, managers required to answer phone on day off, attitude of senior Mgrs towards branch managers no consistency with expectations, bullying mentality from head office, Senior Leadership Team drop like flies every year, no recognition, worked like a trojan horse with no thanks, no weekends off, can't take holidays, high staff turnover, ancient till systems, zero training, no lieu time, targets are picked from the sky. They breach every one of their 5 fundamentals and expect everyone else to follow.

Pros

Free Gym Starbucks Coffee shop

Cons

Narcissism runs rampant in Dixons Carphone Group. Head of departments view themselves as categorically brighter and more talented than anyone else, rules for everyone else is beneath them. It’s terrifying how many textbook narcissists has risen into the highest positions of power in Dixons. The business is not able to retain talent due to these narcissists. No career progression, opportunity to grow or learn in any way. Very few people keep on getting promotions and move around into different roles (Narcissists network). No Meritocracy Very Toxic Place to Work
