Pros

It's really hard to think of positive reasons to work for this company... The only thing I can think of is at the store I worked at there was quite a few extra shifts going.

Cons

First of all the job was advertised at a higher wage rate, it wasn't until the induction you were told it was minimum wage. At the 2 day induction you wound get big speeches about how everyone is treated the same it doesn't make a difference whether you're a manager or sales assistant- what a load of rubbish! Once we got to the store which we were expected to the build shelves, put up heavy brackets then fill the shelves with extremely heavy stock. Now we were not warned of this in the induction this was just said to us on the day we turned up. The production team that goes around every b&m store before opening are terrible. Sorry I shouldn't say all of them, some of the contractors were nice but the main boss and her deputies or minions are horrible. They showed no respect and clearly seen us as being there to do monkey work, we were shouted at like children and treated with no respect. For minimum wage, the bare minimum amount of breaks and being spoken to like dirt I would rather be unemployed. There was times when people would leave the store in tears. Now it's a waiting game to see if I receive the correct wages as I've seen other reviews that say they're good at under paying people.
