Henderson Group Reviews

Too big of a workload, too many tasks assigned with a deadline in an unrealistic timeframe. Expect you to work 6 day weeks if other management call in sick with no overtime pay or consideration for your own personal time. Expect you to swap shifts last drop of a hat if somebody has to cover your store or sick calls, yet again interfering with your work life balance. Don’t get your breaks if you have a skeleton management team, post office constantly going or duty manager bell going, leaves you exhausted at the end of a shift. Back to back shifts. Expecting you to close at 11PM and reopening store at 6am. Lack of empathy from senior managers and no consideration for your own feelings, emotions and stress. Wouldn’t be seen dead rolling their sleeves up and helping the stores, they would rather make somebody else work 6 day weeks. Pay - At time of leaving an assistant manager got £200 a year more than a team leader despite doing the duties of a store manager mostly. Some store managers on £10,000 more than an assistant manager which is disgusting and disheartening.

Pay rate is not great but actually the company give a humongous percentage of their profits to charity each year which makes the pay more understandable.
