Pros

The coworkers were all friendly and keen to offer help when it was busy. The training was informative and useful. Get rewarded for reaching targets and a nice employee and family discount!

Cons

Extremely hard targets to meet unless you like lying to customers and forcing them to buy cover for products that come with a free warranty anyway. Managers put immense pressure on you rather than offering help.

Hi there, Thank you for leaving a review. We're glad to hear you valued the team environment, benefits and training available. We were very sorry to hear your experience – that doesn’t sound right at all. In our retail stores we do have targets to achieve, but our focus is on the customer. By offering the right product ranges and services for their needs, we are making our customers happy and achieving store performance targets. At a lot of our stores and sites, we have introduced schemes such as ‘babble boards’ and feedback boxes to help provide an easy way of giving anonymous feedback straight to senior leaders. Thanks, the team at Currys.
