Pros

10% discount 30/35 days holiday depending on time served in company Above minimum wage pay. Used to be an amazing company but now they're more bothered about money than creating a decent work place for staff and customers.

Cons

Toxic management in most stores. Clear favouritism. Has the ability to offer staff a variety of jobs and yet most stores stick people on the same jobs day in, day out. You aren't allowed a life outside of work, they go on about work/life balance but hate it when you actually try to have one. Change rotas at the drop of a hat without asking you first then get mad if you can't/won't do it.
