      Pros

      nothing good about working here

      Cons

      Poor pay only £16k. If yr branch manager doesn't like you it will never go up. No bonus or incentive. Lot of pressure to push products on to customers. Have to work overtime for free. Have to work Saturdays. All holiday requests are refused. No work life balance at all.
