Assistant Manager

Co-workers, there's some really great people who I work with and the work it's self. It's a trade I enjoy.

Lack of organised management and career advances/promotions are based strongly on nepotism and favoritism, the wrong people are always being promoted to senior positions they are not capable of performing.

Building bikes for a living and doing repairs is fun. Staff discount is pretty decent (especially a bike on trade price), and 50% off at autocentres. And I work with some really lovely people.

Sales targets with no commission and a high expectation to fulfill demand for email receipt captures, incentives, and motoring club sign ups with only a tiny chance of receiving a small team bonus relative to the work put in (you have to be the best store in your area/the uk to receive a reward). Waiting over half a year for uniform and receiving complaints from senior staff when you don't have steel toe caps on (they're apparently on order), or wearing a cardigan in the winter because it's too cold and you've not been given a jumper. Working in a department without the necessary qualifications required to sign work off for the past 6 months, and no update on if you are going to be given a chance to persue said qualifications after asking. Being told that you take too long to do a job when you don't have the ability to sign it off yourself and have to wait for another colleague to do so. Constant short staff problems as the company is reluctant to give stores the hours needed so they can save profits. No update on the potential for a permanent contract after 8 months and just generally having one dangled over your head.

Great benefits good tesm

Hours can change at moments

Working with a good team

Very understaffed quite often 80% of the time can be 3 people running a busy shop on most days which can be very stressful trying to provide a quality service to customers especially if there’s a high volume of people. The pay is poor for the workload especially if you’re under 21 as Halfords is heavy on age related pay.

Everyday is different, work with the things we enjoy. Good staff benefits, teams hold together because of the people

Pay is low, especially for southern counties. Work load is very high. Staff skill sets are at the lowest they have ever been, staff levels are very low, high turnover of staff

Some of the people are great people, and the work can be fulfilling if you know what you are doing and do it well.

There are many people who don't really know what they are doing and it really affects everyone. The company has a terrible reputation on social media and I'm often embarrassed to say where I work. We are pushed into capturing customer personal information in order to send targeted emails, and can be reprimanded if we don't hit a certain target.

The respect for eachother with the team is amazing, very friendly and almost like family. We talk, laugh, joke, and it makes the day go by nicely.

Understaffed, no structure, and having to rely on a team which does not work to the same standards as yourself.

The store level team. The job tasks can be enjoyable if you like that sort of thing.

Running of the company. Not a people company. Big wigs of the company screwing over the little guy. Company makes loads of money so they cut hours and change people's contracts and make them work holidays such as new years day in Scotland. Open longer hours stretching the already stretched staff.
