I used to work for PC World about a year ago, for two years. At the beginning, things were pretty laid back, and was a generally good place to work, with good bonuses etc. Later on during my time there, things started to get pretty strict in terms of individual staff targets, to the point where if you didn't hit your target, you were watched and guided by 'more knowledgeable' members of staff. If things still didn't pick up it was time to start looking for another job. Don't know if this was nationwide or just the store I was in, but I really wouldn't recommend it as a place to work.
