Pros

- flexibility - autonomy to shape roles and develop strategies - genuinely cares about personal wellbeing - breadth of exposure to sectors and varied careers - community centric ethos of business

Cons

- constantly changing and restructuring means progress and impact is very slow - genuine ambition to deliver on community and inclusion commitments to be questioned - has fostered a 'mates club' at SLT level, and have employed toxic leaders in recent times including HRD - pay is not in line with market

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
