Pros

Company is run effiiciently and in the right manner , since the day i started in elverys i felt appreciated and always part of a team . one thing i was always appreciated about elverys is the product training of brands in store which i know other sports stores lack and also the emphasis on providing above all else a great customer service ! i have always enjoyed working in elverys !

Cons

I personally dont think there is many cons to elverys bar the shop i work in i think could be updated and be given a more modern look.

Pros

Great in store management. Good product knowledge from staff enhanced by training. Lots of focus on in-depth sporting advise. Regular loyal customers & relations. Broad range of products.

Cons

Lack of interest from buyers / Head Office in regards what products we would suggest to introduce to the company or our opinions. Products & ranges have been introduced several months (sometimes more) late, when the hype has died down. No reward for long term staff i.e wage increase, higher staff discount etc. Minimum wage. Too much emphasis on footbalance. More products should be given to staff to try (especially footwear) as customers like to hear a feedback & opinion from someone who is wearing (or has worn) shoes. We can learn specs on every shoe, but to recommend via a direct experience with a product definitely would look more genuine.

Not the worst but not to be recommended either

Pros

The main pro about working in this particular store is the staff, even the manager is lovely. There is the potential to progress but its not encouraged as you'd have to leave and go to another store. Staff discount - 25% which is quite generous as it also applies to discounted items however this is capped at a certain spend. Theres quite a lot of interesting training that comes into store.

Cons

The contract they make you sign means you may have as little as 8 hours which is nothing. The store is freezing and management refuse to do anything about it. Store itself is quite old and mundane, hasn't been painted since it opened 20 years ago. Too much emphasis on footbalance, At the end of the day its ONE product that takes up about 15 mins of your time. Its a good product but its continuously being pushed and there is no incentive to sell it bar threats about the regional manager giving us stick. Stock management - continuously out of stock that sells, really impacts on sales and figures.
