Pros

1. Working w/ great people (luckily, my managers were good) 2. Training 3. Product knowledge 4. Great part time job for young people. 5. If retail is your career, great experience.

Cons

1. The pay was embarrassing & biased. (If you didn't sell TVs or Laptops, forget getting a decent bonus. 2. Bonus system foolish. (If the store doesnt do well, regardless of how well youre doing, forget decent bonus) 3. Forget being noticed for being a great salesman. 4. Progression is little to none. 5. Greatly understaffed, so more responsibility & targets are placed on the staff but the pay stays the same. :/ 6. Its a huge numbers game & will eventually start eating away at your morals & conscience, if you have any. 7. Slowly & quietly sucks away your joy & dreams.

Pros

Training is great and you meet a lot of great people, who unfortunately do not stay there long..

Cons

Those who do stay there long are generally who have learned to cheat their figures or stab others in the back to be "consistently good". I have seen so many great people treated horribly by the managers it is ridiculous. Chief exec has no idea that even the day he released his letter to everyone to ease off hard sales not much has changed in actual stores. People in this company are on much lower pay than many similar type sales colleagues plus not even on commission while expected to drive hard sales despite customers experience (ex. car-phone warehouse, who is now part of the same company : their colleagues are starting off higher and actually get commission). Awful atmosphere in shops because of that.

Pros

meet some great people. nothing else really. The old style managers were the best.

Cons

also some people will stab you in the back to get where they want. :-( I worked for this company for 10 years as the managers who will understand this they succeeded "worked me out of the business" . They changed my location of work without my consent, knowing i could not afford £250 extra per month travel cost ,without any redundancy was a case of move or ship out!
