Bad, getting worse.

Pros

Pays decent. Overtime abundant. Colleague card.

Cons

Expect way too much of employees Entire business is focused on cost cutting. Union doesn't fight for employees rights. Hyper critical of employee conduct, will discipline you if there's even a single complaint, even if you prove that it is false. No sense of community amongst departments. Too hard to book holidays, if too many are off from unrelated departments you can't have a holiday (even when your department training doesn't overlap) Training lacks a lot of detail. All technology within the business is slow and outdated.

Pros

colleague discount no other pros but need the word count in the box

Cons

honestly, the worst place i have ever worked. management are bullies. they belittle you into doing things, take pay out of your pocket, time your breaks, the older women who are in charge of the checkouts are just plain nasty. never known anything like it. some staff honestly think theyre the dogs b but in fact they just work in retail and have done for their entire life, every time youre off sick or domestically off you get penalised and threatened your job, your expected to go completely above and beyond for them but get nothing back.
