Thanks for your review, we truly hope that you were able to share your concerns with your line manager as it's much more effective to have a professional discussion within your store where changes can be made, rather than on social media. All the best for your next role.

Pros

Absolutely none whatsoever. Honestly, not an exaggeration, this is quite possible the worst place to work for.

Cons

No leeway with holiday allowance. Rubbish management skills from the front end team. Severe bullying from supervisors on the front end team. No proper training. Constant criticism with no positive feedback. No recognition for your efforts.

We'll share your feedback with the relevant managers and our ER department, hopefully you felt able to reach out to them and share your concerns at the time, so that they could help. We wish you all the best for your next role.
