Pros

nice customers (at times) having a good relationship with staff and other managers. ( to the other reviews, communication is key) thats about it.

Cons

i found that with all my experience within the retail sector and management, this company has to be the poorest, no room for growth, nor progression unless our willing to relocate for them, only 2 area managers have actually been of any help, the rest just chastise you for things that are out of your control, bully you into leaving, or are just out right harsh to staff for no reason what so ever. The big cat at the top has no interest in the company, only the money, refusing pay rises and buying 2 Bentleys. customer services are an absolute joke, i have had more customers complain about how unprofessional CS is than people come in with refunds..
