Best thing
Few colleagues make the job better.
Discount is not bad.Worst thing
The managers are absolutely worse they pressure colleagues into selling additional services to customers.
The manager in charge of schedules does not give you notice of shift changes.
Managers interfere in sales done by colleagues and force customers into taking additional warranties or any addons just to hit the target.
Managers treat you disrespectfully and talk behind your back in an unfair manner.

Best thing
Fast paced and engaging. Good engagement with LGBTQIA+ and Pride related things. Good discounts and the cinema tickets perk is very good as it includes the option to buy popcorn and drink combos as well. The colleagues are nice to work with and the hours I work aren't unreasonable.
Worst thing
Understaffed constantly, the introduction of the "colleagues unleashed" initiative now the company the the trained specialists to work in all departments and hit all the designated KPI's for no significant increase in wages, no time to actually learn all the new things we have to do so we're often learning as we go and end up making a lot of mistakes.

Other colleagues make it enjoyable, lots of useful knowledge on tech with real-world experience and a good stepping stone for most people's careers.
Worst thing
Extremely numbers-motivated, warranties and broadband are pushed a lot but there's far more targets to monitor. Stressful environment. Feels like you aren't being rewarded enough for the workload at times, you can be set some very long or intensive tasks.

Management prioritising targets over colleague wellbeing. Way too many targets and ‘unleashing’ was one of the worse things to happen as we have to effectively do multiple roles in the store with little all while receiving no increase in pay

"Unleashing" aka the company making you do every single position at the work place, not increasing your pay for the influx of responsibilites, absoltley ZERO training and constant addition of more targets and metrics to meet whilst the benefits of what they provide to the customer constantly decreases!
