      Frustrating, but great for the CV.

      Pros

      Learn new things, particularly as a former computer technician working on the KnowHow bar. It also looked pretty darn good on the CV.

      Cons

      High targets - Was targeted at £50 a day, but then had to sell broadband on top of that. This was tricky as I worked on customer service. Slow tills - Eclipse is absurdly slow, old software on them including an old version of OpenOffice and Internet Explorer. Fortunately they use Windows 7 now. Low salary - Was paid around minimum wage, high salaries belonged to those lucky enough to be on the older contract. Salary was roughly £50 a day at the time so you earned your money back. Highly competitive - The pressure for high targets and the easily available scoreboards lead to occasional in-department infighting. The place felt like a Japanese high school in terms of competitiveness.

      Standalone Store Manager

      Store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good basic pay for a small retail store. Great peers and colleagues. Good network discounts which you keep after You leave. When you take another job after you inevitably can't take it anymore it will feel amazing and the relief of the pressure and stress being lifted from your shoulders is literally orgasmic!

      Cons

      Pressure cooker environment, managers expected to be on whatsapp 24/7 and in constant contact with their stores. Miss 1 stretched target and you are on a performance review process and expected to do the same with your colleagues. Expected to work all weekend's and bank hols. Made to feel guilty for taking a day off. All staff duck under a people counter when entering stores to affect conversion targets. Expected to hit a target for attach (insurance, accessories and broadband) and misselling is a common practice. Outsourced IT which are abysmal, systems massively outdated. Reporting often wrong, but does not count for anything when you are having a performance review. Any short fall from returns or theft of demos added to your targets. Pay and bonus paid in arrears so cancellations affect your wages. Stores in PC world and Currys and online and direct sales have extra offers regarding deals and discounts that you can't match in store. Currys and online and direct will send all returns to your store to sort out.

      Shambles

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Average pay. Subsidised canteen with a further discount. Free onsite parking

      Cons

      Management is a shambles. Binned all my personal belongings. Told my team members I'd quit but they'd actually fired me for being put on 2 weeks sick by the doctor. Incomplete training by someone who was not willing to train the team.
