Poor HR Function who are inept at resolving important queries!

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly People from ex-Dixons. However since Carphone merger, the culture has shifted to a more Carphone-centric corporate feel.

Cons

Making money at the expense of what's right for customers seems to be making a comeback here! Pay was uncompetitive and unfair/un-transparent across my team. My biggest complaint would be regarding Payroll/Employee Welfare and General HR policies. They are outdated and un-appealing for Employees. Upon leaving, not only did HR incorrectly overpay my salaries - and then make a mess of claiming it back, they were unable to pay my correct expenses at a reasonable time and after incorrectly informing HMRC of my P11D details I’ve consequently been taxed too much! Very Poor!

Only dishonest snakes thrive here

Business Outlook

Pros

Get to see a lot of new tech

Cons

shocking pay considering the insane amount of pressure staff are put under. so target driven only the morally bankrupt will do well by bullying and blatantly lying/misleading customers to get add ons on their sales this leads to customer complaints that management brush under the carpet. if your name doesn't appear on the top of the sales/ add on numbers you're a nobody and you're treated like garbage if you don't perform to what they expect. People who hit all targets get away with murder because managers are too scared to upset them leading to a lot of animosity amongst staff members. Some staff deliberately allow flat sales(no add ons) walk out to protect their sq number which is apparently a measurement of how good you are in reality it's more a measurement of how dodgy someone operates.
