Over worked, poor recognition, contradicting bonus scheme, "sit in the back" leadership. - Recensione dipendente - Assistant Manager presso Currys

No opportunities to develop outside of a store. Bonus scheme of store staff contradicts the bonus scheme of an Regional and senior management, and offer little support. It is possible that a car charger earns a member of store staff the same bonus as a contract which takes up more time and effort in completing. 45 hours per week with a basic salary that does not meet that of competitors. Over time becomes compulsory and expected rather than a choice, and if you are full time and work overtime you get no extra pay, no recognition, and you won't get your time back. You are a very lucky staff member of you have a break, I myself have gone 10 or more hours without a break, drink or food. In some stores the staff budget is that tight there can be just two of you all day every day, often causing store closures due to sickness or yet again no breaks, resulting in poor customer service or even depression and anxiety. Assistant Managers or second in command members are taken for granted sometimes with no recognition for good work and with a salary dramatically less than a Branch Manager whilst the Branch managers has an easy ride sitting in the back. Forced to attach any form of product or service possible to a sale, often causing staff to mis-sell, and breach regulations, i.e. by incentivising insurance PIN POINT IS A GREAT SALES ASSISTIVE TOOL BUT! it is forced down your neck, managed more than your actual sales figures, unreliable, and can cause loss of your job! Don't even get me started on there HR department!! Good luck in getting paid!...properly.
