Pros

Decent discount of 10% across the board in Currys and PC World, although higher discount available on Apple products if trained in that field. Perks also available through 3rd parties such as EE, Supermarket gift card discount, etc. Training is organised well with companies they sell products for such as LG, Samsung, Canon, Apple, Google, etc.

Cons

Poor pay brackets considering the level of knowledge and skills expected. Top pay bracket for an "expert sales person" with specialist knowledge is lower than a till member in Aldi for example. The network and software the company works with is ancient, and they won't put their hands in their pockets and do anything about it. Takes over 2 minutes for an anti-virus special offer to load on the till when selected. You can imagine how fun that is with queues on Black Friday. No real career path, have known people be on the shop floor waiting over 15 years just to become a team leader, never mind assistant manager or higher.
