      Pros

      Work/Life balance is good and very much in your control. Good quality of training given when first given Store Manager role. Competitive rates of pay at all levels. Bonus potential based on Store performance - up to 30% of salary based on performance Jan-Dec then paid out in April/May following year. Earned through sales budget, customer exit survey and P&L contribution. Large company so plenty of support e.g. Operations trainers, HR etc Opportunities to apply for positions in other parts of the business e.g. Property department, availability support etc

      Cons

      Lack of opportunity after Store Manager e.g. Area Manager opportunities. Sometimes too much going on with launches etc can hinder you running your Store e.g. Having to travel 100 miles for an event that adds very little in terms of useful information or training.

      Thank you for your honest feedback and comment. It's good to hear where you felt level of support went above and beyond and where we have fallen below the bar. Your comments will be fed back to the business. ^Catherine

      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
