Succesful company within the retail business, friendly colleagues, semi-flexible work hours, london weighting, plenty of entry level opportunities for graduates

Cons

limited growth opportunities, processes are out-dated - very paperbased environment, work can be repetitive and unchallenging at times, strong influence by the german head office which makes things inefficient, high turnover of staff

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
