Pros

Most colleagues are great Canteen is good but harshly priced

Cons

Management question where you are if you've been in 'personal break' status for more than 5 minutes. Constant inbound calls where you barely get a moment to breathe between calls and get shouted at all day every day. Poor attitude to sickness and mental health. Management are very unappreciative of good work and only really bring up mistakes and threaten PIPs for nothing. Senior management walk around like they are the best things since sliced bread. Poor bonus structure which can be taken away for no reason at all Very cliquey and if your face fits you will go far but be prepared to stab your friends in the back on the way up.

Hey there - we think you may have left this review by mistake! We're the UK's most trusted electrial retailer, based out of Bolton, Greater Manchester. You might want to find the other 'AO' that are based in the States and leave your kind words there for the right company. All the best!
