What’s life really like in O2 Retail???

Friday, June 6th, 2008

There are so many great words I could chose from………….  so where do I start??!!

Exciting, that’s a good word to start with! Life in O2 Retail is definitely exciting! There are always so many new and exciting products, tariffs, accessories, promotions, I can hardly keep up with it all! It’s a very fast moving environment to work in and you definitely will never be bored! The grass doesn’t get a chance to grow under our feet at O2 Retail, we’re always on the go. You’ll receive all the training and development you need to stay ahead of the game, so don’t worry.

I think I have one of the best jobs in O2! I’m a Retail Recruitment Consultant and I get to talk to lots of candidates and tell them how fantastic it is to work here and what a great company O2 are to work for.

Why is it fantasic I here you ask? Let me tell you …  The culture here at O2 is the best I have ever worked in, and believe me, I’ve worked in lots of places! It’s a really fun environment; everyone is friendly and will do anything to help you, the support you receive is incredible. Our values here at O2 are Clear, Bold, Open and Trusted. We all live by those values every day and they are instilled in our work ethos. We are open and approachable, you can ask a silly question or challenge something your don’t agree with and you won’t be looked at like you’ve got two heads! Your voice will always be heard; your opinion will always be listened to and is very much valued. You can make a difference! A great man once said “Be the change you want to see” that’s one of our favourite quotes! ps. it was Ghandi by the way :)

If you work at O2 there are loads of amazing benefits too! Here are just a few of many flexible benefits… dental insurance, health care plan, life assurance, you can buy or sell holiday, learning fund, child care vouchers, phew! If you work in a Store you will earn bonus; get tax free incentives; receive discount; win prizes, win luxurious holidays abroad or city breaks and if you work on a Sunday you will receive an extra £50 for the day, not bad eh?!

What I love the most is that the people here at O2 are passionate! We are passionate in everything we do and at the heart of it all is our passion to deliver a world class customer experience for every single person that walks through the door of an O2 Store.

I hope that has given you a short but sweet insight into life in O2 Retail. I’ve been here for 3 and a half years and I love it! I know you will too!!
