Pros

- The people you work with at your level are usually great. Understanding, being empathetic, and wanting to do the right thing are all qualities you can find at your work level e.g. below head of roles

Cons

- Lack of strategic vision, planning and objectives. There's no clarity on where we're going OR how to even measure if we're making progress - No personal development or progression frameworks in place. There's an inability to know if you're meeting expectations to receive higher pay, be promoted etc - Reward and recognition don't exist. I understand not everyone can receive a salary increase, but simply having a reward and recognition program in place would benefit the company, to help with morale, and allow your people to know they're wanted.

Hi, thanks for sharing your thoughts on AO. We're glad you're a fan of our AOers - we always want to build teams made up of like-minded people that are bold, fun, smart and caring. In certain departments, such as Sales and Customer Service, we do have regular award ceremonies and social events to recognise our AOers. We also put a huge amount of effort into equipping every AOer with the know-how and preparation to do their job to the fullest. Our learning and development teams constantly explore new ways to make our people the best they can be. We’d love to know how we can improve how we reward and develop our people, so if you can get in touch to tell us a bit more about your time at AO, we’d really appreciate it – PeopleTeam@AO.com. Thanks again.

Hey there - we think you may have left this review by mistake! We're the UK's most trusted electrial retailer, based out of Bolton, Greater Manchester. You might want to find the other 'AO' that are based in the States and leave your kind words there for the right company. All the best!
