Pros

I’ll have to think about this one

Cons

What once was a great company to work for has now changed to a soul destroying company, no work life balance, expect to be working 7 day weeks and 12 hour days with no extra pay, no hours to run your store, area manager who talks to you like something he has stepped in and higher management well !!! None stop visits from mystery shoppers ( failed store managers) company expects the store to look like opening day all day every day, you’ll get zero support when asked yet other stores will depending on if your face fits!! this list could go on and on

Pros

Opportunities for progression and sample sales (like in any other large retail business). In the Summer we have an ice cream van that visits every other Friday at a subsidised price and suppliers visit every so often with free samples.

Cons

Expected to be indispensable to the Business, no workplace benefits, no sick pay, no working from home and ridiculous work place politics. You are just seen as a number in these places and so are all of the staff who work in stores all about profit and do not care about the people who work for them its is why I left.
