Pros

there is non, get told one thing and get another, managers consistantly lie, i was attacked on the job and they did nothing to the other person, i was forced to have surgery because of this attack and i was told they " had other ways to sort problems" if i didnt push thru the pain and do the job

Cons

everything, it was great at first but it soon turns to a living nightmare with rude kids, thieving and lying managers who take your days off and when you are sick " you can sit and process" really means prepare to cover the whole day and get ripped a new one when you dont do well

Not worth the time or effort

Pros

Your colleagues will make your day worthwhile.

Cons

Dragged from working a large delivery to doing some task a manager can't be bothered to do regularly. Cutting working hours to basic, expecting full time workload. Dragging support staff off important tasks to supplement sales, but not doing the same when support require assistance Advertise temp christmas pay rate at a rate including bonus that you won't get til you've worked with company three months, temp period is less than this. Company doesn't want to listen when colleagues share concerns about changes, no consultation when fundamentally changing roles of some of team with no financial uplift for extra responsibilities. Managers will advise you must "manage objections" in relation to extended warranties even though company training states this is not allowed, similarly will state we cannot recommend finance, then aggressively target finance sales. Far too many more to mention.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're glad to hear you're enjoying working with our amazing colleagues. We're sorry you've had trouble with managers and support on offer to our staff. Our company encourages an open and honest working environment between line managers and colleagues. We provide all colleagues with access to our confidential colleague helpline for times when it’s not easy to have a particular conversation with your line manager. At a lot of our stores and sites, we have also introduced schemes such as ‘babble boards’ and feedback boxes to help provide an easy way of giving anonymous feedback straight to senior leaders. Thanks, the team at Dixons Carphone
