Pros

Money is the only thing that keep people there.

Cons

Extremely stressful, you are evaluated on how fast you work, any other skills are disregarded. You expected to work like a robot, youd need to be an octopus with several hands to do everything is expected from you, a 3 people job is expected 1 person to do, also its expected from managers and staff to clock out and keep working when they 'run out of hours', which is a completely illegal practice. Managers lead by fear, treat staff and others including customers completely disrespectful, I have witnessed things being throwing on the ground from the shelves in rage, roaring and shouting kinda treatment from management, it's that level. Managers dont take breaks, the senior management and directors turn a blind eye to it all. It's shocking a company this big and recognised allows this to happen. There is no culture or sense of community, everyone is for themselves and they are out there to get you, its a horrible environment, they are bullies, I have never seen anything like that in my life. Stay away from it.
