Pros

Discounts with o2 and EE, and now that they have merged with Currys PC World, you get discounts there too. Don't expect much though. (10%)

Cons

You get underpaid all the time with no apology and just have to wait until the next pay day, there is a lack of respect from other team members. A lack of communication between head office and stores means that head office contradicts what staff are saying, making them look unqualified and uneducated on basics. The general bad customer service associated with this brand is caused by unhappy, poorly managed employees.

Pros

If sales go well, you can (occasionally) make a bonus obtainable. Also some staff discounts are quite good (discounted price plans on contracts etc). Some stores can offer flexible hours (although new staff are now only given temporary contracts).

Cons

The culture upto a few years ago made it hard work but rewarding. In recent years though, bullying is becoming commonplace from management as targets are increased year on year (and the value attached to achieved sales diminishes). We have an obsession within the business of pushing insurance products onto all customers with high targets to achieve on such sales. If a consultant doesn't meet these, they are then managed out of the business. Overall the working environment is now quite toxic and I'm glad I'm leaving what's fast become a sinking ship.
