Pros

Living wage employer, decent benefits. In theory the company has a good set of values.

Cons

Poor work life balance, lack of investment in stores means not enough co-workers to meet the customer in a good way. Constant need to cut costs. Huge service office structure now. Some really good people have left the business and replaced by busy fools who haven't a clue what they are doing.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
