      Pros

      Very healthy colleague dynamic, everyone helps and supports each other Benefits and support are brilliant

      Cons

      Long days, expected overtime to complete tasks Stressful workload, often too many cases assigned to one person causes issues Minimal support for a work-life balance, most staff will take their work home with them or be consistently working on down-time or annual leave. Management has minimal involvement, and are often unapproachable

      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
