Toxic, inexperienced and bullying management

Pros

Some (not all) supportive colleagues, a few good gems but management favourites as toxic as management.

Cons

Always pushing you to work more hours and penalising you if you can't Take on young staff and bully them assuming they don't know their rights. Consistently give their favourite staff the best shifts. Serious lack of training from management, very toxic culture. No motivational, encouraging management. No acknowledgement from management when you go above and beyond it do a good job. Not enough staff so expect too much out of each individual Inappropriate behaviour by staff and managers which is never addressed properly. Managers don't know how to deal with it and if they try they break confidentiality rules. Tell staff they have to work on certain days as part of their contract even though it's not their agreed days so you have to drop college, uni or whatever. Want you to work all over Christmas and new year with only Christmas day off. Curry's should take boxing day off like many other good retailers It's retail so some of this is expected but due to lack of enough staff you are expected to work all of it. Would seriously discourage anyone under 19 to apply. Make sure you get a copy of your contract at time, read it carefully before signing so you know your rights as they will tell you anything. HR very slow to respond to queries.

Pros

The analytics and eCom team are filled with great talent who you can learn from and grow with. Leadership are switched on to the ever-changing retail landscape. The work-from-home policy is incredibly progressive. The office in Waterloo is amazing.

Cons

Nothing to add here, seriously.
