Pros

amazing team, great products and lively customers!

Cons

working towards volume targets which carry weighted financial rewards which in some cases would not always benefit the customer. An assisted selling tool which has at least 6 steps too many and over complicates each transaction, and to be honest most consultants know which deal they are going to end up with anyway. Hard core managing of employees that miss some of the assisted selling tool steps is almost farcical!

Pros

Good for developing interpersonal skills

Cons

Pinpoint - Poorly implemented buggy piece of software which is counter productive as it wastes time New Bonus structure - Clearly in place to ensure that Bonus payments are minimised and the mad rush to the FTSE 100 is completed. Management - RGM Up do not understand store's views on the company when they should be listening as we're on the front line with our customers, management can not make a decision that lasts over 18 months Targets are very high and unreasonable, leading to questionable sales methodologies Staff turnover is higher with an influx of temporary part time workers Company is going backwards in terms of how they treat their staff and I am so happy I am getting off the sinking ship.

Pros

Colleagues were great. Glad to help customers with their purchases. A great student job with plenty of flexibility in terms of hours. Pay is ok for a retail job. Store discount and other benefits are a plus.

Cons

Staff are encouraged to be dishonest which I hated. I did not appreciate being told to omit things or lie to a customer to get more extras on a sale. Also, it seemed virtually impossible to consider moving up to team leader or manager as specialist training that was promised to me would have probably taken another 50 years to get sorted.
