Pros

The expectation of doing multiple people's roles meant I learned a lot and used it to find a great next role

Cons

Firstly, the Owner bought itself out of administration for an undisclosed price so that it could 'trim' the company e.g. close stores and fire employees without paying them their entitled redundancies. Other: - No discount equivalent for men - Below average pay - Continuous redundancies and reorganizations - I was part of 3 in 2.5 years - Decisions based on opinion not on data - Cliquey attitude and behaviour - I was told by colleagues I didn't deserve a promotion because they were upset they didn't get one - Allowing of unprofessional behaviour so as not to upset people and have them leave - Constant expectation to work more than your contracted hours to show 'commitment' - Outdated processes, systems, and equipment - Anyone truly trying to change things for the better is met with resistance and suspicion

Pros

The children clothing is nice.

Cons

Inconsistency from corporate management about policy and operations. The rules apply to some but not all. They make you use your phone for work related purposes without paying for it. Bully's and shames everyone at the store level when sales are not being made, in front of peers and subordinates, definitely a hostile working environment. Labor laws are being violated on a consistent basis. Almost no room for advancement within the company if you want something beyond a Store management position. Little to no training when hired. You could go months with out receiving supplies such as toilet paper, trash bags, receipt tape, bags etc and would have to pay out of pocket for them and at times would not be reimbursed. I had to bring paper, trash bags, pens and cleaning supplies from home because they would not approve for you to be reimbursed. Unless you are homeless and starving stay away.
