Pros
Brilliant company all the way to the top, senior management in head office are very supportive. I worked in Nottingham and London Oxford street stores as well as helping out at stores all over the country and joined the amazing Academy team where there is an opportunity for everyone to inspire and train hundreds of aspiring photographers. In the 3+ years I was there, the managers did a great job at hiring creative... and talented staff. Work hard and you will get far.

Requires commitment to the role but this should be expected in any job anywhere.
Advice to Management
The Academy team is full of incredibly talented people who may look to leave if they cannot progress.

Pros
A 'nice' sales job, comparitively speaking, and products you can take pride in. If you like cameras, this is a great way to learn more about them. On a quiet day you can check out the stock!
Cons
Personally I received no training, and very little help from management. The pay was very poor as well.
Advice to Management
Make sure you implement training consistently and effectively. Make your employees happy and comfortable!
