Pros

Discounts on a few contract, meeting like minded people. That's really about it to be honest...

Cons

Salary poor for what we do and deal with on a daily basis, very old computers to work with, poor technology being used by the company who sells the latest phones and tablets, customers come last, targets first. No chairs to sit on. And finally...pinpoint; the biggest waste of time this planet has ever seen. We stand for 9 hours a day. We get paid peanuts. We have so many targets to meet, and we allow our bonuses to be controlled by those who have no problem with the store service but issues with the network. Yes i am talking about "World Class Service Score". As for targets, they don't allow us to give the customer what they NEED, but rather what WE NEED THEM to HAVE in order for us to hit target. Like Geek Squad - we force it on them telling them to take 2 weeks free. They then forget to cancel it and come and blame us. Oh and if anyone wants to cancel their contract - forget it! The company minuses it from the stores margin. What does this mean? STORES MAKE UP LIES SO CUSTOMERS GO TO ANOTHER STORE. We say "No manager" or any old crap so they go to the next nearest store.

Pay was ok and the discount in store was good

Cons

Politics in senior leadership were rife and making progress with anything was tough because of bureaucracy

Pros

Met some great colleagues there staff discount

Cons

Hard to make plans around work as shifts could change at the drop of a hat with little notice Employee benefits and bonus slowly stripped back over the years Upper managment didn't know what to do with mobile so just left it to flounder for a while with no real plan or direction you don't really work in a department so you are expected to know about everything with little to no training very little in the way of progression in the company

Hi there, Thank you for leaving a review. We're glad to hear you value the team environment and benefits with us. As a retail business, it’s very important that we are there when our customers need us to be – whether that’s visiting a shop, receiving a delivery or calling us, we encourage all our colleagues to have an open and honest conversation with their line manager to solve any concerns with this. Colleague benefits and rewards are also in line with their career development. Thanks, the team at Currys.
