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

Good colleague rap-ore within the store, Investment in Colleague training (if they are allowed the time to train) Good investment in store looks.

Cons

Too many KPI's, Pressured selling of services, Not enough focus on available stock to take home today. All order in, not what customer wants. Weekly tasks expectations of staff along with offering 100% service to customers. Do they want a cleaner or a sales person?

Pros

People are great with good work ethic and up to middle management level on the level.

Cons

Middle management spends all their energy keeping the reality from upper tiers and keeping teams in the dark. It's a massive farce. Can be very demoralising. If you want to get ahead be prepared to be promoted not because you are good but because you are happy to play this game and essentially maintain the status quo. If you are good at your job - you will definitely be kept down doing it.
