Pros

1. Probably some of the best wage you will make in retail 2. Your fellow colleagues are lovely and make the job worth it. 3. You will make a real difference when helping customers. 4. Interaction with lovely people daily.

Cons

1. Understaffed 2. Mangers in the store do not care about you, you are a number and nothing else. 3. Upper management does not care about you and will hardly interact with you when they come for a store visit unless its for press. 4. No consistency with hours you could sometimes be working your minimum contract then the next week you're expected to work 20-30hours+ 5. Change your shift without warning and expect you to check your shifts daily. 6. The odd rude customer can be infuriating. 7. Expected to know everything about anything as they no longer have specialist roles.

Hi there, Thank you for leaving a review, we're glad to hear you value the working environment and benefits. We appreciate your feedback on the other matters and would like to take a moment to reply. We want to be a company that celebrates capable and committed colleagues and helps them achieve their best. As a retail business, it’s very important that we are there when our customers need us to be – whether that’s visiting a shop, receiving a delivery or calling us; our colleagues will need to work shift patterns that are best for our customers and reflect trading patterns. All our retail colleagues have a central induction at The Academy in Fort Dunlop where they get to learn all about customer service, meet suppliers and receive training on the latest technology. We would recommend colleagues speak with their line managers about their development so training plans can be tailored to individual progression plans. All colleagues have access to an Aviva Digital GP app and an Aviva Wellbeing benefits app and we provide all colleagues with access to our confidential colleague helpline for times when it’s not easy to have a particular conversation with your line manager. Thanks, the team at Currys.
