Pros

The people I worked with made going to work bearable

Cons

The company continues to treat staff badly by increasing targets and expecting more from their employees without reflecting this in the wage that is paid. every year they change their bonus structure and in doing so make it more difficult for employees to achieve. Morale is very low in stores and every sale you make is criticized if you haven't sold all the add ons as well as the product. There are no opportunities for progression either which means experience is rewarded with people being given additional, but unofficial, responsibilities without any further remuneration.

Pros

Training is great and you meet a lot of great people, who unfortunately do not stay there long..

Cons

Those who do stay there long are generally who have learned to cheat their figures or stab others in the back to be "consistently good". I have seen so many great people treated horribly by the managers it is ridiculous. Chief exec has no idea that even the day he released his letter to everyone to ease off hard sales not much has changed in actual stores. People in this company are on much lower pay than many similar type sales colleagues plus not even on commission while expected to drive hard sales despite customers experience (ex. car-phone warehouse, who is now part of the same company : their colleagues are starting off higher and actually get commission). Awful atmosphere in shops because of that.

Pros

pay and bonus - you can't argue it's not successful but at a large cost for the employee experience

Cons

Bullying leadership and lack of work life balance
