Pros

Very good salary, travel expenses alawance, 10 % discount card straight away. Unfortunately, that's the only pro offered by the company.

Cons

- no training (they have a great careful training plan for all new starters but no one care to deliver it,when I asked about it, I been told that is too early for me to start training plan), - very very hard work, - long working hours, - no life work balance at all, - dirty stores, - management with no people skills at all, - old school management - only manager can be right ! - all the brilliant ideas are only on the website, a store life is a different story, - they change colleagues rota without let them know, - very short sick pay (10 days per year), - a very bad company to work for!

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.
