Pros

Very easy to increase salary and progress. Nice colleagues usually. Great training with manufacturers Great flexibility Not overly pushy on targets, but they are expected.

Cons

Pay could be better, pay will only increase yearly, not when training has been achieved. Annoying customers at times but that's retail. Many targets, can be hard especially over Christmas. Expected to work Boxing Day and New Years Day Often leave the store late

Life at North Acton

Pros

From a Marketing perspective, you get to work on the latest high profile technology products and services and with some of the best creative agencies in the UK. It's a highly competitive industry and I always found myself working with lots of very talented and creative people. In short, you will work on great campaigns with great people gaining a lot of valuable experience. Having CPW on your CV goes a long way and is definitely respected by other employers. It's hard and challenging work at CPW but if you can make it at CPW then you can make it anywhere.

Cons

Life at Carphone Head Office in North Acton was always incredible fast paced and hectic. If you want to last at CPW then you simply have to be able to cope with constant change and with plans that never stay the same. The culture there is entrepreneurial and challenging to say the least and whilst the leadership team always talk of its strategic vision and its five year plan, the truth is that the business lives by the seat of it's pants and is always focused on the following week's numbers.
