Pros

Great store front colleagues. Good rate of pay. Enjoyed my time and great experience. Received accreditations. Increase in contract.

Cons

Terrible management who priortise outside relationships inside work. Supervisor sleeping with manager to keep her position. Not following procedures. Not following employee handbook regulations. Breaching conduct. I have been a victim of discrimination with an unfair dismissal for being poorly 4 times in a year with 95% attendance out of 170 shifts, (excellent record with zero lateness) There is no other reason but the grounds of attendance. My case is being reviewed by lawyers. They have in the past taken similar cases resolving disputes between employees of B&Q. No consideration to GP records or any of my great service awards received whilst in B&Q as well as my qualities. Suspended me and escorted off the premises for no reason whatsoever but for being poorly 4 separate times in a year. Left me traumatised, humiliated in front of my colleagues and burdened my life and family. Was told because I am under 18 months I have no rights to appeal. Any person has a right to be treated in a fair manner. I was given 3 days notice. Most importantly no verbal or written warning whatsoever. My colleagues, friends and family are still shocked and messaging me how disappointed they are. Managers refusing to comment apart from telling me it's procedure. Trying to hide it under this under the carpet is not going to help!
