Pros

Good Bonuses around Christmas time Good social events and team building days Good atmosphere between everyday staff and peers Skies the limit if you can sell

Cons

The company survives only because of its warrenty product and pressure to sell this is very high Management lack the ability to motivate their staff Talent / Innovation isn't appreciated nor encouraged Poor relationships between management and staff especially during tougher trading times of the year Company suffers from poor customer relations and can be almost an embarrassment to work for sometimes Good management are keen to leave or get headhunted to other firms (2 of my former managers got head hunted) Training just doesn't happen, ever.

Pros

- Friendly staff, aside from a few of the typical jerks - Interesting place to work - A sense of pride if you manage a "great", sale, which isn't often

Cons

- Management set stupid targets to sell products which people genuinely don't want (whatever happens, tech guy services) then have a go at you when you can't sell them. - Awful hours which are scattered all over the week - Fragmented training - Stressful
