      Pros

      opportunities to progress shop floor time/customer interaction 10% staff discount with 20% off every pay day weekend excellent quality products

      Cons

      management pay is at the bottom of the market these days for store management frustrating to work for, company never get things right first time very, very little hours to run the store on top down pressure, in 10 years of retail management for various companies ive never experienced anything this extreme, each area has 20+ managers all fearing for their jobs, doesn't matter what area manager you have.

      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
