Targets HIGHLY unrealistic (unless you work in one of VERY few high performaning stores then you're likely never going to hit Gold or Platinum banding on commission. (Silver & Bronze hardly worth it unless you're a store manager and even then pathetic!) They also recently changed the commission structure making it harder for you to achieve and even worse that you have to rely on everyone elses performances if the store doesn't hit you're not getting paid! They will string you along with promises of development and progression to retain their best staff despite RARELY being able to fulfill the empty promises. Theres an awful amount of pressure surrounding daily performance if you haven't hit a specific target by 5pm they throw you into a "focus" group lol more like pressure group! They don't appreciate over time or extra hours. I worked at 5 stores in just under 3 years all are the same. All high pressure, all ungrateful. Can be very cliquey They take an awful long time to get expenses. Refuse holiday if it's not ideal. Do not care about Christmas the decor is down on Christmas eve and you're back in selling tablets on boxing day because that's more important than spending time with your family at christmas Pos changes!!! OMG every week like the pos team at head office have nothing better to do. Literally.. Company only cares about new connections even more than profit loool.

Appallingly low salaries, huge cronyism the only way to progress professionally. HR processes totally divorced from employee experiences. Financial backing uncertainty for anything but 4G, with money likely to be promised and then pulled away several times during any year - whether by finance, or your own director trying to book Opex as revenue and hide what a poor job he's made of profitability, even when it's a drop in the ocean. Many senior level people seemingly woefully out of their depths and therefore showing blatant favouritism to yes men, or people who will do large swathes of their jobs for them so they can coast. Actually, that's hit the nail on the head: most of senior leadership content to coast through the rest of their careers without ever taking risks or innovating. Frequent redundancies that are purely tactical in nature (make EE appear profitable to the owning companies, France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom).
