Pros

Have worked with some nice people through working in various different stores learned some skills that would be useful for a better job

Cons

Poor pay No significant appreciation from the area manager, no matter how hard you work yourself into the ground for them, mainly negative comments and nit picking (may be specific to my region) The people at head office level are so far removed from store level they have no idea what it takes to hit the UNREALISTIC and ever INCREASING targets they throw out every month The company keeps changing there focus, and jumps on any band wagon that comes along, making it hard to keep up The training when joining the company is non-existent, consisted of them telling to to sell insurance and accessories and not much else, they leave it up to the existing staff to manage a busy store and train you They have introduced new EECC tablets, no prior training leave you to figure them out the fact that the tablets don't work 99.5% of the time, shouldn't get in the way of you using them, and instead of support, you get threatened with the sack if you don't use them???? and why, because they sank thousands into it and need to keep the shareholders happy. For these reasons and many more, myself and many others either have or are leaving the company, its a sinking ship that won't get any better - so happy to be leaving!
