      B & Q are very fair employers. Any issues one may have about work were always dealt with fairly.

      Pros

      Colleagues and management alike were almost all extremely supportive and you received recognition for a job well done. Equally if they were disattisfied with your performance at work or giving any other causes for concern they were also fairly and promptly addressed. The branch I worked at was a friendly place to work with a good atmosphere. Management on the whole were respectful to the other employees. Also, I enjoyed my job.

      Cons

      Actually there were few downsides to working for B & Q .Occasionally there were periods of confusion within the workforce when one manager would instruct an employee(s) to undertake a t ask in one way and then someone else would issue differing instructions. Also when they were pursuing a policy of cut backs with staff the shop was on many occasions understaffed. As people left their jobs they were seldom replaced putting the remainder of the workforce under r some stress as they were expected to take on the duties of the people who had left leaving some members of staff to complain that they were expected to do more work than they felt competent to do. This lead to poor staff morale at times.

      Pros

      World class business always looking for improvements to products and offering great customer service. My store is a big team and everyone looks out for each other.

      Cons

      Constant presure to do more and more with less staff or hours to finish tasks. Building either too hot or too cold!
