      Pros

      Some of the colleagues are great

      Cons

      The culture can be quite toxic and lots of egos playing out. Too many voices get involved in areas that they are not necessarily the experts in so doesn’t allow for any autonomy Senior managers want to do all the nice bits and get the glory but treat the team poorly

      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
