Pros

Would be 0 stars if I could.

Cons

Would give 0 stars if I could. Where do I start..? - Rubbish pay compared to rival and smaller companies such as iBroke My Gadget. - Unrealistic targets, thus not getting anywhere near the bonus level - Board members think they are miles above the rest of the staff - Infighting between people in shops - Doubling up peoples jobs in stores and in the head office - Getting people to commit to overtime then cancel the 1.5x pay half way through the month - Everyone is stressed - Company thinks they are 100x bigger than they actually are - Loads of people leaving - Only consideration is making the company more money, not for the staff. - Staff who have been there since the start are leaving because they are fed up

Pros

Nothing other than a steady salary

Cons

Unless you have a position with a fancy name you are a nobody in the company, no matter how much you do for them there is no appreciation at all, no transparent bonus scheme no salary raise, unpaid overtime that happens on a daily basis when closing and opening the stores and the list is huge

Pros

Decent Salary Bonus Structure Monthly nights out There are opportunities for progression

Cons

Although the bonus structure is in place it is structured terribly, it is incredibly unachievable to hit the unrealistic targets more than 2/3 months of the year. Although there are opportunities for progression it is really about who you're friends with in the company, people who aren't necessarily qualified for the positions they get promoted to have been promoted due to having friends in convenient places Senior management are the wrongly placed people in their positions, they don't care about the staff who make the most difference within the company and as a result have lost a lot of good people within the company and are set to only lose more unless they change. Due to the lack of budget for staff the company tend to be understaffed where staff are needed the most, this creates the expectation for the current staff in the company to work as much overtime as they are needed to do creating an unbalance between your work and life.
