Pros

I've worked for the company for 8 years, over the 8 years in the business I have progressed from a casual sales assistant to a store manager. In the 8 year I have worked for the business I have worked in France, Belgium, Holland, Iceland, Austria and many other stores in the uk what other retailer gives you this opportunity. My recent time in Austria I had the opportunity to meet our CEO, he spent time talking to me about the job I was doing but most importantly he spent time asking me about what I do and where do I see my self going. With the guidance of my regional manager and other managers above me I have now settled as a manager and work hard with my team to produce results and enjoy coaching, developing and motivating my staff below me.... Last year I was rewarded with a 15k per person ski trip to Mike Ashley's ski house in Switzerland a paid week to ski and enjoy some good food what else could you ask for. Ive also a few years ago been reward with Center court tickets to Wimbledon to watch the tennis

Cons

Negative press Sometimes long days but the outcome at the end of the day is rewarding when you see the results of your hard work.

Pros

At the end of the day, I got paid, and I had the opportunity of learning from a variety of tasks and have nice colleagues.

Cons

Poor management. Being told informal comments criticizing the amount of water I drank. Lack of feedback or recognition. They required me to ask for permission to go to the bathroom, arguing that perhaps I would not be able to go because the shop was busy.
