Pros

- Flexible hours - Friendly staff members - Easy to work in - Learn a lot about the mobile industry - discounts on line rental is awesome

Cons

- When the merge took place between dixons carphone, was promised a secondment bonus after 3 months, and to this date none of the staff have received it. Emails have been sent to other departments but they are "trying" to chase is up. Currently feeling helpless and ripped off after working two years in the company. - When ever there are quiet periods, the consultants have to take in a hell of a lot from management and other seniors when it is out of our control. - The commission scheme is just getting worse and worse as the years go by, even though the consultants generate the most amount of profit for the company. Consultants are just workers simply at the bottom of the chain. - The customer service rating needs to change, 1 low score for something which may not be a consultants fault ruins the hard work of the other higher end scorses

Pros

It is a secure job, and you get to help customers find the best technology solution and create offers that allow them to save lots of money when they bundle all the software together. If you work together as a team, and you can lead that team, then you will get on great.

Cons

If you are technophobic or don't like hard graft or talking to people then I wouldn't apply if I were you. Can be hard to stay positive when other staff are constantly negative. Takes too long to progress within the company without having to move.

Pros

Good for people who like working on many projects that may or may not have the experience for. This has an entrepreneurial 'we can do anything' attitude

Cons

Constantly changing goalposts - projects can go on for months and then fizzle out Fix it by Friday mentality - loves to short term fixes. Next to no long term solutions Merger with Dixons now feeling like a takeover, nit a 'marriage of equals'. Steady exit of very experienced CPW staffers who would have been future leaders.
