Pros

Only the Money is Good

Cons

Bad Health and Safety practice during COVID. Only bothered about trading not customers or employees health. No security guards despite being busy and lack of staff. Just to hit their prod target. Working Times bad- I knew people who done over 20 / 30 hrs straight. Poor COVID procedures- one staff member died and many sick in a store in quick succession. Kept trading despite staff complaining. Poor treatment of staff and conditions- Bullying went on and grievance took place. Company denied it despite loads of people going to the management. All in COVID. Senior Management lack of integrity- covering each other’s backs giving out disciplinaries for nothing. All were at it. Shame many on here aren’t all honest with views and just thinking about a career that isn’t there. False promises. Very untrustworthy individuals. Don’t know why people shop there. Maybe one day customers will realise what they’re like.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
