Business Outlook
Pros
Carphone's a dynamic and entrepeneurial company which is big on 'pride and fun': as a business Carphone is keen to be known as a great place to work. And it IS a great place to work: CPW hires and keeps talented people; the business is extremely good at what it does; overall the company isn't afraid to make decisions and there's a genuine will to want to keep employees happy. This results in low staff turnover and makes for good promotion prospects.
Cons
Overall strategy can be vague, it can be a bit 'fly by the seat of your pants' and often people are reactive because there just isn't enough time to be proactive.
