Work feels better when it’s well worth your while

For us, one of the best aspects of being an employer is being able to reward people. Does that sound a bit odd? Admittedly, it’s not the kind of thing you hear many companies saying but, for us, being able to reward people means we’re doing well as a business and making the most of our most valuable asset – our people.

At O2, you can tweak your benefits package to suit your personal circumstances. It could mean you can benefit from specially negotiated discounts as well as tax and National Insurance savings, which can make a real difference to your lifestyle. From Retail to Childcare Vouchers to Dental and Critical Illness insurance, there’s plenty to choose from.

Here’s the list of benefits and rewards available to our people in Retail (make sure you read right to the end – especially the bit about Las Vegas!).

Pensions

Our Pension Plan is an award-winner. You can contribute as much as you like and we'll match up to 10% of your salary and there is also a special fund available to Muslims so everyone can take part.

Life Assurance

We also offer Life Assurance which is 2 x base salary or 3 times if you take part in the pension plan along with a pension for your dependent.

Holidays

Sales Advisors receive 23 days and Managers receive 24 days' holiday per year. Holidays also increase with length of service. We also ensure that every individual has access to ongoing training and career development opportunities.

Bonuses

Now for the really good stuff. Everyone qualifies for a performance-related bonus. Sales Advisors can earn up to 25 percent of salary and Managers 20 percent. Yes, we did say 25 percent.

Discounts

You'll also get mobile phone discounts - 50 percent off line rental or pay and go calls. There's also 30 percent off line rental for 10 of your friends and family too!

Rewards

If you're a Sales Advisor and you work Sunday as part of your normal working week, we'll give you an extra £50. You will also be eligible for the O2 Spirit reward scheme. This is a tax-free reward-based voucher scheme, linked into how many phones you sell. You gain points, turn those points into vouchers and use them at high street retailers. You can save them up too, if you want to put them towards something substantial like a holiday or new kitchen.

Prizes

Finally, we also give out prizes to our best performing stores and our best performing individuals. Recently, winners have enjoyed five-star holidays to Las Vegas, Dubai, Cape Town and Hong Kong, as well as making the most of lots of smaller prizes up for grabs, like city breaks, concert tickets and free handsets.
