Okay for the short term, not great in the long term.

Pros

They provide a discount for members of staff. Some members of staff provide good rapport when working.

Cons

You get taken for granted, and type-cast very quickly based on you main duties rather than your contracted position. It can also be difficult to get holidays when you want it pending on the size of the store.

Pros

Do not work for B&M. Terrible company. Expect you to work 6am after attending alarm call out at 2am. Also worked 6pm-1pm the next day - how can they get away with that! Area manager expects you to be available 24/7. No work life balance. No supports. Expected to do everything with no staff. Terrible pay. Spoke to other managers at stock takes no one likes being there they all hate it. Do not join.

Cons

Everything is a con NO PROS
