Pros

- Those who joined 5+ years ago (and have managed to stay and remain normal) are decent and good to work with and have banter

Cons

- Employee discount of 15% off handsets is poor (used to be 40%!) - Poor management - Recruitment process needs a major over-haul - Different rules apply to different individuals (depending on how poor their line managers are) - Empty promises - HR processes (i.e. team events, meetings) are for show only to tick of a box for management - Speak your mind and you will be forced out - Hot-desking (don't get me started on that one) - Working hours - depending on roles, certain teams have to stay back and work extra long hours (with no sort of compensation/reward) in return - Incentives to teams offered when it comes to 'annual feedback' in order for management and the business to get a good score - Have to justify everything you do, where you go (surprised they don't ask how many times you breathe in a working day in that place)

Pros

Colleagues are the best bit about this job Give you free lunch on Black Friday and Boxing Day, it’s just as shame we aren’t given a proper break on these days to eat it

Cons

Ridiculous number of targets to hit, end up giving things at a discount just to reach them Questionable practices in store to hit said targets Occasional kind customers, doesn’t make up for the horrendously rude customers you get everyday Thrown into the deep end straight away and expected to flourish
