I worked at currys a decade ago, 20-30 hours per week while training for another job. I was surprised as hell to learn they lost money 11 months of the year and only clawed everything back in December (Broadheath branch). Their parent company DSG was struggling back then so god knows what state they are in now. I think comet going under first gave them some breathing room but AO and the continued rise of Amazon etc has really buggered them up 10 years ago.
I hated getting targeted on selling the mostly useless extra warranty shit and pushing HDMI cables worth £3 for £50, proper shitty.
From the stories, things started going downhill when they changed and cut the bonuses of the sales staff, who would look after their customers and be rewarded appropriately, many replaced with less trained and lower paid replacements.
