Pros

Discounts, relaxed environment, great people & progression opportunities.

Cons

When it was just CPW colleauges were looked after and you felt valued, in the past few years this has slowly gone away, cutting costs in areas that staff rely on. Handling of the pandemic was poor, making thousands of staff redundant, paying furlough incorrectly, redeploying colleagues 20 miles away and outsourcing payroll/HR making it impossible to get issues resolved. All this while boasting about increased profits, leaves a sour taste. Store & Regional Managers used to value their employees and do what is best for them but this is no longer the case, with an attitude of "take it or leave it" and "at least you've got a job".

Hello, Thank you for sharing your review. We appreciate your feedback, and we are happy to take a moment to reply. We're pleased to hear you have had opportunities to progress your career over the years you've worked with us. But we're sorry to hear you had issues with your pay and we'd urge you to get in touch if this is still ongoing so that we can get this resolved immediately Mobile, including Carphone Warehouse, is central to our Vision - it is the most important product to customers. Our challenges are well understood in the market and we are responding. In 2021 we will launch our own Mobile offer which will be much more relevant for the needs of today’s mobile customers. This last year we have launched a new 'On the Pulse' colleague listening survey shifting us from a yearly survey, to more regular check-ins. That’s so we can take timely action on the things that matter most to our colleagues. We encourage all our colleagues to take part in these surveys on the issues that matter most to them so together we can shape our future. As our customers' expectations change, we had to make some tough decisions about how we operate to make sure we continue to put our customer first. These were not easy decisions to make, especially with the timing coinciding with the coronavirus pandemic, and we worked closely with all our colleagues affected to make sure they had the support they needed during this time. Best, The Dixons Carphone Team
