Pros

Great colleagues in my team

Cons

Very slow moving company - slow to make decisions and slow to act on them Typical Swedish culture where everyone has to be involved and have a say on every little decision No challenge in role - irregular workload among colleagues is a constant problem No autonomy Not forward thinking or innovative Inflexible working options People are afraid to have any kind of challenging conversation Lacking good, experienced people managers Very sad to be writing this review - the interview experience was so positive, however this is not the company I thought it would be. Disappointed

Pros

Great work environment Pay is great for retail Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule but know it's a pain Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Finding out that there's family relations just seems off putting to others. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems like a cop out The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand. Leadership doesn't seem to care about it.
