Pros

I can't think of any pros to this job to be perfectly honest as I think about it. Oh the staff are nice people. You have a 20% discount card which has so many regulations your scarred to use it incase of dismissal! The 20% takes the price to a reasonable price as everything is so ott price wise. Also work this only works in B&Q not any other kingfisher owned store but the other kingfisher discount cards work there and you get the same discount??

Cons

No work-life balance even though they add it in the employee handbook for some reason? Don't help new starters, hold back people's progression to save pennies. If you like weekends off with your family then keep looking for another job. Management think bullying you is acceptable and that gets the best out of you! The minimum expectations one of which is do you care passionately about the store? Which is stupid as you slog your guts out break the law with no breaks or dinners because they're always understaffed have less than 11 hours between shifts but you still don't care, the real question is do they care about their employees?? The answer is quite obvious NO you are just a number to them.
