Thank you for taking the time to share your reflections. It is great to hear that you found the culture, training and focus on diversity and inclusion so positive, and that you enjoyed working on such a well loved brand. Feedback like this from someone with your experience really matters. We also appreciate your honesty about the challenges. Balancing careful decision making with the fast pace of delivery can be difficult, and we recognise that budget pressures can sometimes make it harder to explore new ideas. Your point about listening to colleagues is important too, and it is something we continue to focus on to make sure voices across the organisation are heard. Thank you again for your thoughtful review and for the contribution you made during your time with us.

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
