Pros

Clean working environment. Cool tech.

Cons

They prioritise selling warranties and home services (broadband elec and gas) over everything else. I got ‘told off’ for not being able to sell a 5 year warranty on a tv I sold. Being informed I would be the death of the business as they make no money on selling the products. Suffice to say I quit after two days I was soo enthusiastic too having a log in account and processing sales solely on my second day . All they want you to do is sell warranties and if you don’t, you’re out! It was like high school tactics with a blackboard showing people’s targets and who was not ‘selling enough’. Naughty boys. I did not sign up for that and nor should you! I’m 47 btw. Bad move on my part.

Pros

10% staff discount is decent

Cons

- Low pay - Very pushy management (constantly complaining about sales & stats). The only reason staff here bug you to buy insurance, add-ons etc, is not because they're paid commission (they aren't), it's because they have their manager on their backs. - Staff on newer contracts are ALWAYS told to work bank hols, sundays etc... Why? because they have to pay old contract staff time and a half. So the 'old staff' never get the time and a half that they want and the new staff always work the bank holidays simply because its cheaper for the company. Backward way to treat staff if you ask me. Training? Forget about it, it barely exists and when you do get asked to take some new rubbish online 'fridge/freezer' quiz/course or something daft like that, be prepared to 'learn', while handling daily duties simultaneously. Looking for job progression? Doesn't exist :) Advice: Money and experience, take it and then get outta there!
