Pros

Enjoyed my early days, plenty of opportunities, everyone got along and there was a sense of achievement to actually getting S**t done. Flexible working and relatively good pay. Really nice modern offices in Dublin HQ. People around the business seem relativity nice and friendly.

Cons

Outsourced a lot of their long term knowledgeable staff Lost valuable members of the department Too much time wasted talking about things, lack of decision making Management top heavy Friends recruiting friends and forming their own friendship groups (old vs new) New people coming in changing things that actually work department split across counties not working together conflict workloads Too many processes and policies

Pros

You get lots of PTO up front as a part timer and can gain flex hours overtime. Get a 50 cent raise every six months.

Cons

Was told during onboarding that if a Christian comes into the store spreading the gospel, I have to kick them out. This includes the mention of the Jesus without the church invite. Managers claim its rude and if a customer does it, they get booted. Faced harassment from a customer and management didn't let me switch too a different department. Extremely high turnover rate and managers don't replace them, making your job more stressful during peak hours. Hard to use PTO. Little to no training. Too many bachelor and master holding part timers who get lucked out of moving up in the company. Managers give some people no task while pilling on multiple tasks on one person. Too many managers to deal with (and usually never find) and the full timers make you do the dirty work while they "unpack boxes". Its a pro-LGBT anti christian company. If they want to be pro-LGBT, than more power to them. But anti-Christian is discriminatory and unnecessary.
