Pros

It was easy to swap shifts with colleagues and book holidays off in advance. I was able to stack all my holidays together there was no big issue with that. They also provide uniform which include steel toe capped shoes. Received Christmas shopping vouchers as well as an end of year bonus. Good training provided through the online learning portal.

Cons

Poor management. Closing the store was really ling as the organisation was poor. The supervisors would rarely pull their weight which meant we all had to stay overtime for most shifts especially the weekends. We were expected to track down shop lifters and confront them. Which is highly dangerous as one of my collueges were attacked by a thief, and got a black eye. Loads of gossip and people not pulling their slack resulting in poor teamwork.

Pros

15% discount Nothing else is a pro

Cons

Micro management I’ve never experienced in 10 years of retail management. They’re living in the stone ages in terms of technology. Hourly staff get paid to 15 mins so upper management will try and shaft your pay in the name of prod, no clock in/out machine so you’re reliant on managers clocking you accurately. Everything they do is just weird and backwards. They don’t believe in employee law, 11 hour rest period being the big one.
