Pros
- The company wants to improve and move into modern times - They listen to new ideas and value opinions from people who have experience else where - There's lots of investment in omnichannel, which is the future for retail - There's flexibility and the head office is a great place to work - Onsite gym, parking, restaurant, shower facilities etc (and a Costa)
Cons
- You have to carve out your own career progression unless you have a particularly attentive boss - Still a long way to go to escape legacy systems and ways of working - Lots of 'old timers' with old ways of thinking - Things aren't fixed quickly within the office - IT support are pretty useless, and network connections (WiFi etc) are horrific - Overpowering restrictions on technology usage (websites locked down, not enough storagw space etc)
