Pros

Good discount Good pension Good bonus incentive Flexible hours

Cons

Mangers hold promotions out like feeding a Carrot to a donkey. They are promised and snatched away and pretty much used as bribes. Also promotion duties are expected of employers before the title and pay rise is actually given. As an employee I worked almost a year with a lot of extra responsibilities and expectations with zero benefits.

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
