Pros

- Decent basic wage. - Great bonus, potential of £400 - £500 per month in the right store. - Brilliant staff discounts - Always get full time hours even though only on a 22 hour contract - Great atmosphere to work in. - Easy to sell as we're always cheaper than the networks. - Massive range of other good quality products and services, making crosselling easy. - Very motivated management. - Loads of oppurtunities for progression. - Get to work with the latest technology. - Working in a big busy store means you're always occupied, not bored. - Majoirty of customers are nice and happy, making serving them easy. - New tablets make selling on the shop floor very easy. - Always lots of stock so you rarely have to dissapoint a customer with something being out of stock. - When it's going well and the store is hitting target it's a great place to work.

Cons

- Tend to work a lot of weekends. - Very old computer system, but I find it very easy to use. - High pressure on selling insurance products. - In a busy store you are on your feet most of the time, but you get used to it. - Big busy stores are managed well, but often the smaller stores are not. - Lots of back office tasks to do, banking, audits, stock takes, ect. - Sometimes the store is very understaffed or very overstaffed. - Getting things sorted when they go wrong with HR isn't always easy (wages, holdiays ect.).

Sometimes long working hours, customers can be quite demanding, if it is quiet it can make for a long day.

Pros

its a good wage and the hours are flexible especially if you have other commitments. its also a constant changing environment.

Cons

Let's just say it's all about who you know, if you want to climb the career ladder you have no chance unless you're close to someone in a higher position than you. The majority of the men I've met in the job are completely disrespectful and sexist, my ex manager once tried to get me to send him a dirty picture and would continually text me until I replied. However, he still works there. Such a joke. They employ far too many men, I was one woman in a store of 12 male employees. I suffered constant sexual harassment from the manager and nothing ever came of it. There was no disciplinary actions taken against him. It got to the point I didn't even want to show up for work, in the end I left.
