Pros

Good pension scheme, front line team are ace, share save is good, serving customers get to work with cool tech.

Cons

Bullying is rife. Direction is poor. Arrows between bonus and performance management aren't aligned. Too many regional managers use fear to motivate Unhealthy like culture of performance management 90% of stores failing to achieve reward. Good people leaving in their droves. Soulless upper management HR team aren't supportive Payroll is a joke Bonus is convoluted and elusive Pay can be as little as 30% of 25p for putting a contract through, (the other 70% is bonus you won't earn - see above 90% of store missing) Wcss is a joke and paying people off of it even more of a joke. Understaffed and overworked. Customers complain about queues. Which means reviews are bad and you don't get reward.

Pros

I am not interested at all in working full time as I am chasing a football career, I'm on a 15hr contract but there are many opportunities for over time, ideal for when I have time off from football. I really enjoyed training at the Birmingham training centre mostly because of the hotel an food!!

Cons

You get absolutely no training on the pie machine which doesn't make sense! This maes you really on your colleagues alot

Pros

great people to work with excluding management

Cons

massive management ego's,15 different KPI's to hit every day,more concerned with belittling staff than working together as a team, management refuse to admit when they are wrong,pressuring selling or risk losing your job,slow and very out of date systems and hardware. using low discounts targets just so the numbers look good, low pay unless your a manager, not allowed to have family life. bullying is rife in this company if you don't jump for them then expect to be bullied - a team leader kicking a chair on the floor as their was no staff was available to serve as team leader could not be bothered to help a customer.
