      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A lot of responsibility with the ability to make changes to the operation that can cost or save thousands. Great holiday and salary Lots of promotion opportunities

      Cons

      Most of the training is on the job and you can't learn everything you need to know. The words "you just know" come up a lot.

      As bad as you

      Deputy store manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Higher rate of pay than many retailers, but unfortunately when working it out, 24k/annum for a 70 hour week is very poor. Fast progression within the company if you're an autocratic sociopath who wants to give their life and soul to a faceless, monstrous discount supermarket chain

      Cons

      Horribly understaffed, leading to being landed in trouble for not getting everything done despite often leaving 3 hours late and hence being unable to have any sort of social life. Recent productivity targets have worsened this situation. Very top down autocratic management, lacking in compassion and humanity. Very lengthy recruitment process, amazingly they seem to put a lot of resources into carefully recruiting managers but make no effort to retain them. Company loves systems and set ways of doing every tiny thing. Kills any hope of creativity and individuality. Awful meat grinder of a place that has claimed the souls of so many - the managers have glazed over eyes and lack any humour due to years of being demoralised.
