Sales assistant
Discount is a good thing
Everything over worked constantly and under appreciated
Store assistant
Geeky atmosphere, very nice & friendly co-workers
bad working conditions, lots of disrespectful clients due to "low budget" store
Logistics associate
Good place to work with new people People always welcome you to do more activities apart from work Good to learn basics as well
Salary can be much better Roles do not define you here You can't expect more hike here
Software engineer
Nice culture, many programs are held, and work from home opportunity
Less help you get from your seniors
Senior software engineer
Excellent work environment, supporting team, great learnings.
Traveling to the office especially in monsoon
Working with interesting people plus a relaxed all around approach. Management also legitimately cares about your well being and will provide help when needed.
Inconsistent hours unless you're contracted otherwise.
Sales associate
Good Culture, Work with Tech
High expectations and smelly co-workers
If you have an interest in gaming, movies, electronics, or any of the products the company sells then you will be right at home
There would constantly be issues with servers that left tills unusable for hours at a time.
Supervisor
flexible discounts fun tech progression
dodgy customers low pay late closes
Friendly + supportive team, good discounts on products
Customers tended to be rude or argumentative
Tester
fun environment, good vibes, easy work
low pay, rubbish management, insufficient training
1) Freedom of speech 2) Not much stress. 3) Lot of interaction with customers. 4) Friendly environment.
I worked for only 2 months part time. So I really didn't find any "cons" while I was working.
Porter (wast) bin man
Rubbish, garbage, waste of time
Waste of time, garbage , rubbish
Shop assistant
Working with tech constantly 15% discount
Non-set hours A lot of work expected for minimum wage Hard to move up Becomes mundane Inconsistent approaches to similar situations/problems
Good staff to work with
Poor pay and awful customers
Sometimes a fairly relaxed environment (as much as retail can be), good for those with niche interests - gaming, films, technology, 15% staff discount and a two-week returns scheme, designed to enable staff to learn more about the products they sell.
Low pay (basic minimum wage, supervisors only get 5p more than sales assistants), very few perks, high stress (especially in some stores), often dealing with 'undesirables' and very rude members of the public, lack of support from higher ups, they ask for a lot from their supervisors and managers for very little in return, there seems to be an 'us against them' mentality within the company - very little trust between the higher ups and the people actually working on the frontline, inequality in perks and benefits - rumours that HR receive free massages every week where sales assistants get no incentives or benefits whatsoever.
Pricing analyst
No Pros here. None whatsoever
Lack of Management. Prioritizing un-important tasks.
discount and return policy is nice for buying expensive hardware like a good pair of headphones or a laptop
minimum wage and no real ability to work upwards, definitely feel like a cog in a machine with some higher ups who do not care about you
Friendly staff, good company, overall good place to work
Customers can get frustrated quite easily
Sales
Good place, good hours. Fun
Big work load. Customers can be rude
Some of the people who worked there were okay
They expect so much from you as a supervisor. It was my job to open and close the shop everyday, be in charge of all the staff, all the money, and test electricals.
Store manager
Great people, team and customers.
They pay hasn't improved in years.
Job is easy to keep on top of
Fellow workers can be lazy
Account manager
Flexibility to work, good work culture and exposure.
Salary paid is below the industry standards.
Assistant
Fun place to work where every day is challenging in its own kind of sense.
0 hours contracts aren't really the thing that need to be in place
Good learning experience with a great team of support
Zero hour contracts that does not give you hours
Technical manager
Latest tech stack, No lack of work, many projects in pipeline.. International exposure Chance to work closely with UK counterparts No salary cuts in fact appraisals happening regularly WFH available Flexible shift timings Work-Life Balance. Lots of opportunities to grow.
None as of now to suggest
Discount is 15%, and 2 week returns on any items. Some staff are nice.
Some staff and members of management are awful people and slackers. Customer base are very often abusive, especially post-pandemic, more likely to get assaulted there than at a pub. Expect a cliquey environment, two-faced personalities, not very much respect or loyalty, staff are very much disposable. You will have to learn most things yourself as guidance is minimal. Sexist and misogynistic attitudes from staff and customers. Almost no chance of getting given more hours if you're contracted, also minimum wage for a job that requires a lot of mental strength and intelligence. Management only get about 20p more too. You are better off working anywhere else. Or vet the place heavily first, for instance, never work for a franchise store, corporate stores seem to run a lot more smoothly.
Retail sales assistant
The staff are very laid back and where always helpful when first starting out Dress code is very casual Customers are generally a pleasure to deal with Great working environment
Not much chance of progression Not the best training, more learning on the job than anything.
Cool staff, lots of drinking.
Terrible work environment, never have the supplies to do the job, the UK bosses show up, don't do any work and dont seem to help the US higher ups at all, police raid the stores, they told us month after month for a year we'd get health insurance but never did, no benefits at all, etc.
Meet some great people to work with 15% discount is useful 2 week return window back to original payment on purchases
Customers can be overwhelming Leaving late is normal at some stores Inconsistent company standards can be infuriating, especially in a franchise store
Staff discount and friendly colleagues. That's about it.
Verbal abuse from customers. Threatened by customers. Terrible pay. Inconsistent hours. Poor management. Poor working conditions (bathroom is literally falling apart, toilet barely flushes, and only one tap works)
Work is simple, if you're passionate about games, movies or tech you have a work outlet to explore and have conversations about them
Hours not stable due to part time nature Opportunities for progression limited (unique to store size)
Retail manager
Training, Pay, People and Support
Customers sometimes can be violent.
Retail sales associate
It was okay I like games and tech
Hated the customers underpaid us
Qa engineer
1. Great and very generous co-workers. Always there to help when you need. 2. Company has an overall positive attitude and work culture 3. Getting new things to learn here. 4. This is the only company I could think of as my 1st one which I am working for
No cons in my opinion.
Team leader
No uniform, usually a good range of music when not forced to play radio, rare nerd stuff comes in frequently, work colleagues are usually good company
Death / violence threats from customers constantly, uncaring upper management, awful pay for the workload / stress, constantly understaffed due to "budgeting"
Associate qa engineer
Broad spectrum for learning technologies. Great team to work with. Amazing work culture and people Great learning experience and growing opportunities.
No Cons as such, great workplace
Anonymous employee
Great co workers Helpful management Different type of job
Customers are often rude and demanding Company policy - (eg customers can’t wear hats when being shown an item, or refunds only to voucher) mean that staff face abuse more often than needed. Low pay and rare bonuses
Offer incentives for staff, such as festivals to attend put on by company. Depends on manager but if you get a good one there's a nice community atmosphere between the team
They never pay right, only paid till rota time when you're there for near an hour after putting away stock. Not very flexible
Perfect company , they hired any experience level candidate and make that candidate skillful. Seniors are helpful and so kind to each other.
There are no cons that I feel from the DAY 1
Operations manager
Staff discount, Flexible working, Autonomy, No uniform, Development opportunity, Freedom compared to other retailers, Working with technology, Great colleagues, Senior leaders are accessible and down to earth. Incentives, Bonus system,
Some politics, company structure is chaotic, sometimes it's hard to get things done, a few difficult managers but nothing too bad. Covid puts a lot of pressure on everyone.
Enjoyed working with games and tech
hours were all over the place
Passion for media is generally valued, employee discount is nice
Did not train me and then decided I wasn't needed
Low Pay: Relatively low pay, and this can be a concern for anyone living in dublin, especially if they have high living costs or financial responsibilities. Irregular Hours: Requires working on weekends, evenings, and holidays, which can make it challenging to maintain work-life balance or plan social activities. Customer Service Challenges: Dealing with difficult or irate customers can be emotionally taxing, and retail employees often have to handle customer complaints and issues. Physical Demands: Some positions in retail, such as those involving stocking shelves or standing for long periods, can be physically demanding. Limited Career Advancement: Career advancement opportunities may be limited, and employees may feel like there are few opportunities for growth or promotion. Workload: Retail employees may have to juggle multiple tasks and responsibilities simultaneously, which can be overwhelming during busy periods. Limited Benefits: Retail positions may offer limited benefits, such as health insurance or retirement plans, compared to positions in other industries.
Work-Life Balance: Maintaining a healthy balance between work and personal life can be challenging, leading to burnout or strained relationships. Relationship Conflicts: Disagreements, misunderstandings, and conflicts can arise in personal and professional relationships, causing stress and emotional turmoil. Lack of Time: Many people feel they have insufficient time to pursue their interests, hobbies, or spend quality time with loved ones due to busy schedules.
Unique 2nd hand tech retail business
None that I can think of
Working in two stores in different countries was a fun experience for me. I actually enjoyed working here for almost 5 years.
Some pressure to meet targets from upper management
Great vibe with colleagues, you can work literally any other retail job with no fear afterwards
Very hard to move up or make more money
Very unique in what the do. They buy & sell electronics Opportunities to move up in the company there but not many people seem motivated to do so
At times they seem very unorganized and make panic moves Too many people have input on what needs to get done when it just takes one person to decide Cut corners when ever they feel the need to even at staff's expense
Retail assistant
Good Team, Working with Video Games and Movies, Discount on Technology
Overworked, Poor Management, Terrible Communication
