Pros
- The team you meet at Currys is wonderful, staff from different backgrounds and just general heartwarming people, everyone is always up for a joke and just makes the already stressful retail life much easier to handle. - The sales experience and just general experience you learn whilst there is absolutely incredible, especially if you are focused on what the customer needs and whats, always keeping in mind what they have told you to accommodate the sale for them. - Unlike most other reviews I've seen, the management team in my store is nice to the employees and does keep in mind what their needs too - plus my store manager is the nicest person I've ever met. - You keep up (have to keep up) with newest tech, additions to tech and you learn many more things which you never likely will - especially with computers, TV's and other necessary equipment
Cons
- You have targets to hit, which can be very stressful as they have been for me - you can have a general all-round happy customer, but if you do not manage to sell the extras such as the care plan then your end-of-period report may not make the managers happy, so you have to at times be slightly pushy in terms of making people spend more money to company your targets. If you are not keen on being slightly pushy, and having management unhappy if you are not managing to keep up with the insane extras which at times are not even necessary at all, then this would be the job for you.
