Pros

Great team, enjoy the people most

Cons

Since it's a family run business essentially, there are people in the business that have their role because of their last name rather than what's best for the company

Pros

Because there are not many Elvery's Stores in Ireland and many of the stores are quite small, the staff connect very well together across almost every store whether its at social get togethers for the company or merely via telephone for stock. There is a lovely feel of togetherness across all the stores. You immediately feel part of a team from day one and throughout. Management are lovely and work on the floor with you so rather than being superiors they are on your level and there is mutual respect amongst all employees. The main pro really is that you get a great laugh while working and management don't take themselves too seriously. Continuous training is given every year and there is always opportunity to progress.

Cons

The pay isnt great at all (minimum wage) and doesnt increase regardless of how many years you've worked there unless you progress to a higher position. It was perfect for a part-time job during college, but not as a real life career, unless progression is happening!

Pros

Flexible Rota - Great Co-Workers Decent discount AFTER 6 months = 25% Flexible and Sound when you put in for holidays

Cons

Middle Management - Too many managers trying to establish themselves, assert authourity over other managers and it affects staff morale. Ego gets in the way of effecient work and sales, ie approaching customers Minimum Wage NO Training whatsoever, First day you will be expected to talk to customers about every product and you have to pretend you have the knowledge Managers can be petty with certain things HIGHEST turnover of staff even managers leave once they have 6-12 months under their belt
