Pros
The Staff discount is fair , the team are friendly, there is a great sense of camaraderie in store between team members.
Cons
Area team are incompetent , they give no support to the management team in stores during stressful periods , while continuously cutting hours so the staff are put under an extreme amount of pressure to get tasks done on time . When they visit the store they don’t help out they just give negative feedback to the management team in an intimidating way , they don’t take into account staff levels and sickness . A lot of favouritism within the company, it’s not how good you are at your job that counts it’s about how much you get on with the area team and make them laugh that secures promotions. The salary for the amount of work expected is laughable and again down to favouritism . Certain people get higher salaries than others even if they have less experience . Managements overtime is not paid for or given in lieu . In some stores 10-12 hour days are the norm. There is no work life balance.
