Pros

Discount in store Samples delivered to head office that you were able to take home Most staff were friendly and easy to get on with Office had a TV room, and a kitchen with an oven and a microwave - great lunch facilities.

Cons

During induction process, you have to work in store, even though the job I had been employed to do was administration, which has nothing to do with stacking shelves. All take, but no give. Manager's do not listen to staff. Lack of training opportunities. Not enough management discipline, Managers are happy to constantly criticise staff but nobody is watching how the Managers work. Long working hours, 08:30 - 17:30, flexi hours were introduced but there was not much flexibility with them. I was allowed to change my hours to 07:30 - 16:30, that was it. Willing to let staff work through their lunch, come in early and leave late due to staffing issues, but will not let staff leave 20 minutes early.

Pros

15% discount Nothing else is a pro

Cons

Micro management I’ve never experienced in 10 years of retail management. They’re living in the stone ages in terms of technology. Hourly staff get paid to 15 mins so upper management will try and shaft your pay in the name of prod, no clock in/out machine so you’re reliant on managers clocking you accurately. Everything they do is just weird and backwards. They don’t believe in employee law, 11 hour rest period being the big one.
