Brilliant place to work

Pros

The managers are all really nice and take note of whether you're stressed, overloaded, etc. and do whatever they can to help. The company culture is also great and there's always a good atmosphere in the office.

Cons

The building's parking situation isn't great, so it often means a long walk in from where you managed to park.

Pros

- Overall, it is an easy job - Perfect for college or university students - (Usually) flexible hours/easily resolved rota-based issues - Greater job security in a concept store (Stores the white shelving rather than wire) - Through Mid-January to early October, drops in sales means less customers and therefore less stress - Playing with the products can be fun (turns out, you can get very creative through boredom) - If you get a fun team that pulls together when it gets tough, the atmosphere can be fantastic

Cons

- Unless you're in a near-CEO position, don't get comfy. Even the regional managers get replaced very quickly. - If you work in a non-concept store, Q4 of the year is Judgement Day for you. You better hope you make targets, otherwise it's the chop for everyone involved. - Benefits used to be fantastic, but have now been reduced to nothing. - Profit is priority over everything. Your health? Nope. I've heard of staff members receiving death threats over preventing thefts of £15.00 drones. - HUGE markup on most products.It feels like theft when a prroducts retail price is 200% the cost price. - Like most of retail, Christmas is hell on earth. In certain stores, you could be hitting £30k in one day. Pray you don't get a customer in the queue with a complaint or a returned product. - Speaking of returns, it's a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't. The strict return policy means we get shouted at from our bosses if we return it *or* the customer shouts at us for not returning it. It's awful knowing you'll get someone angry either way.

Pros

An exciting, fast paced, forward thinking company and a great place to work. I work on a vast range of great exciting projects and products, so everyday is different. For me its my perfect job as I do what I am passionate about and I enjoy every day working here. There is a great atmosphere and working environment which is important to me. Everyone is eager and keen to help each other and do their best for the business.

Cons

There is a high workload which can be hard at times, but its good to keep busy and have challenges.

Pros

Good local management, reasonable workload. Work is fun at times and atmosphere is always good.

Cons

Pay is always wrong and takes ages to get it fixed. Only given 1 weeks notice when your contract is ended with them. You are left in limbo after Christmas worrying if you'll still have a job at the end of the month and management will tell you nothing. When I applied I was told my job was permanent... it wasn't and the store I worked in closed after 5 months.
