Good place to work for university students - Recensione dipendente - Casual Manager presso PLE Computers

work is not hard 0 training is actually required puts you in an environment with other people you are likely to get along with

raises basically dont happen little potential for upwards movement

+ Colleagues easy to get along with due to similar interests - these guys will be the light in the dark. + Occasional staff dinners/social events

- Barely above minimum wage yet expected to work way beyond this paygrade. - Poor management. Both region-wide and store specific management. (upper management are pretty much all blood related and very recently have cut as many corners as possible for profits). - Time wasting customers. I get it, people come to the store to ask questions and validate their purchases but some of these freaks easily take up 30+ minutes of your time because they didn't want to do any research in their own time. I cannot count the amount of times we have had a till taken up by Mr. Questions while we have a huge line. Toxic environment with no room to grow. Always understaffed to push profits as much as possible. Look up any store on Google reviews and look for the complaints about time spent waiting. Management ignores these complaints and is happy to have 1, maybe 2, or even 3 if you are lucky, staff out front to serve customers resulting in 10+ people in line (pair this with time wasting customers as previously mentioned and imagine the line). If you are disliked, management will take any misstep to get rid of you. If you do not misstep, you will be relegated to another store instead (I have seen this happen twice in my time at PLE). Just all round a poor work experience. The only redeeming factor was my colleagues which are the only light in the dark known as PLE.
