Answered 29 July 2019I went for an interview at the Irlam depot for a 7.5t driving job. The manager of the Manchester depot who was supposed to interview me wasnt in so the Wigan manager interviewed me. He was a very genuine guy ( i wished id been applying for his depot by end of the interview ) fairly informal interview, answered all my questions, told me all about the role. Obviously i know they arent going to mention the negatives but im old enough to take everything at face value. There is a fairly strict screening and background check, but this is understandable as there is a lot trust involved as the delivery drivers also install some products in customers houses. Screening process took a couple of weeks. During the interview i was asked questions like, "give an example of when you have gone and exceeded customer expectations" I was pretty much offered the job at the end of the interview subject to background checks and references.

Answered 16 January 2020Yo yo hours. Management making you feel like something you stepped in when you dont hit all the unattainable targets. Holiday hours not matching actual worked hours
Answered 19 January 2020Use to enjoy working at carphone but the longer you work the more you realise how much of a waste of time it is. Managers come in anytime of the day and are forever texting you on WhatsApp to come in. Everyone thinks they know everything and feels and managers threaten to fire you over the simplest mistakes. One huge tip if your going to work on carphone or currys, don't worry about commission. Some will make £150 commission but only receive £40 2 months later than when they earned it. Waste of time !!!
