Pros

Stockroom staff morale was high, everybody got along was friendly which helped get through the day. Management always made sure we had break hour, staff discount was good. Lots of cons but was all down to management, also our store was bigger than any other I've seen and it was only recently opened.

Cons

The stockroom staff are treated like cattle by management. 'Targets' set for everybody (Green for fast scanning/sorting, orange for slow, red for behind on our stock sorting)... EVERYBODY with no exceptions were always in red for slow, when we were working extremely fast in a hot stockroom with no windows... the speed we were told to go at was impossible. If ever called in sick, got told 'tough' by management and to come in anyway. Then shouted at for not working fast enough. Stockroom was either boiling hot or freezing cold with no in between, the lights didn't work where we had to hang clothes up ladders 12ft in the air so was pitch black half the stockroom. Not enough scanners for all the stockroom staff so was constant arguing over them. Hallways, stockrooms were not organised so never had any idea where to put anything. Working on shop floor was more fun but sometimes management would tell you to work in stockroom instead as they're always desperate for staff. Was always always kept behind at LEAST 1 hour after every shift to get shop ready for next day, was not allowed to leave until everything done when management do not complete their tasks. Was often called morning of shifts to come in earlier. The work and the staff are nice, all the cons are just management.
