Pros

Salary is high compared to other retailers Development opportunities across different departments Opportunity to participate in national or global projects Opportunity to work abroad Good staff discount

Cons

When travelling it is done on a budget Sometimes people confuse their value of humility with not being financially motivated Uniforms are terrible looking Everyone clocks in and out, and it does not matter if you do 30 hours a week at home, you need to do 38 hours a week in the office
