Pros

Bonus is good when you achieve it quarterly. Used to achieve all time but very hard to of late.

Cons

Been with company many years and seen a lot of changes. No longer a good company to work for! Not had a pay rise in 8 years. No fun anymore. All about figures and pressure selling and forcing customers to have what they don't need or don't want. Always short staffed doing 5 things at once. Managers couldn't give a damn about you. Can't even have your half an hour lunch without being mithered. Behind customer services and continuesly busy.. You never stop and it's a thankless role. Have to sell services and have targets, doesn't matter what else you do in customer service role even when you delight the customer with problem solving.. Booking repairs in... It's all about how much money you can take.

Pros

Great bonus if ur store reaches target (sales/ cashiers) Great incentives (not done very often) Great colleagues

Cons

Terrible managers (slow!!!) Company is very slow at progression Lots of targets and KPIs for all staff (with the exception of warehouse staff) Training is NOT done regularly enough to increase your rate of pay Company like to put you on lower contracts than you should be

Pros

Flexible hours, great working environment, good pay for retail sector

Cons

The only real con is the bonus structure they need to look into changing that, it's absolutely awful. One thing I will also say is that sales isn't for everyone, if you're not a driven person who deals well with pressure to hit multiple KPI's, you will not be very successful, that's just the nature of the job.
