Pros
- Good benefits that compensate somewhat for the low pay.
Cons
- Culture where negative feedback and asserting dominance over more junior colleagues is prevalent - It's normal for senior colleagues to criticise others condescendingly over minor things in front of customers. One time when this happened to me, the customer told me afterwards: "I don't like how that man spoke to you. Is that normal here to speak so harshly? I'm so sorry that you have to deal with that. It makes me very uncomfortable." - I was followed into the toilet by a colleague to check on where I was because I dared to take a quick toilet break. Creepy and controlling. - Store manager ignores everyone except senior team leads. The only time you'll hear from him is when he has negative feedback to share. You won't hear any positives, those are not considered important to mention. - Break room consists of a couple of tables and chairs in the cellar storage space among the retail goods. It's so depressing that it's hard to unwind and people eat their lunch in silence. Very different from other companies I've worked at where we'd have a proper cheerful space where colleagues would chat and laugh.
