Pros
Good social bunch of staff in spite of all odds they work generally hard.
Cons
Unfortunately Currys / PC world appear to take advantage of their staff by offering the minimum basic wage. Hours are staggered but an average would be around 10am-6pm, there is only ONE break for just half an hour at lunch. Staff starting work at 11.00am to 4pm on Sundays get no official mini break for a quick Sunday snack or even coffee. Because of the working conditions assistants are usually young, Teens to mid 20's , sadly the staff are without doubt taken advantage of by a rather greedy company who offer very little in financial incentives and expect a level of high level commitment! 1, Often doors are kept open all day long in winter leaving the cashier literally shivering and uncomfortable. 2, Boxing days are a working requirement with the minimum salary being implemented. 3, Staff Toilets have been known to be without soap for over a week. 4, There is a paranoia of staff theft, each time a staff member leaves the shop they are searched with a metal detector and asked to empty out pockets Etc, often in front of customers, it feels degrading and in many ways insulting. IF this has to happen then a private area should be provided we don't live in Dicken's time It's sad to see young people treated in such a shabby way.
