Staff often appeared untrained, lacked product knowledge, and in some cases were argumentative rather than solution-oriented.

What makes the experience even worse is that I personally spoke with the manager regarding the issues, but there was still no proper response or resolution.

When one of the other colleages complaint about it, they said, we cant do anything about it, where it was clearly evident they can.
