Pros
I wish I could give 0 stars, the pay is good but not worth it for the abuse. There are good colleagues and some supervisors but the main management is horrid.
Cons
Abusive workplace, peer pressure/intimidation to do overtime, if you say no they try to scare you or act differently afterwards, formal warnings for the smallest things (like talking) or calling in sick . Favouritism and very unprofessional management team, passive aggressive at best. Play around with peoples shifts/holiday requests (Ignore it most of the time, and they say you are not allowed to contact them or ask in the groupchat. ) by having no balance of opening/closing shifts. No talking during your CLOSING (When there is no one in the store), they want everyone like robots until they want to have a silly conversation with you. They fired everyone after Xmas to reduce staff costs but then there's more pressure on remaining staff and they're stretched to do the work of more than one person (don't forget the 2hours overtime!) Have also fired staff for fake reasons like damaging property (But not included evidence) Shop floor is mismanaged, all managers are elusive and tend to ignore radio calls or refer you to other managers who are apparently responsible but no one communicates this. (But everyone requires you to let them know when you need your break/the bathroom) Strict but without professionalism or real justification to be so strict for a basic retail job. Most of the staff are under 25 so they use this to their advantage in exploiting them. This is not my first job so very easy to see how toxic it is. Also they threaten you with disciplinaries if you find lost/stolen tags but have only 1 security guard at the door. If you care about your health, don't work here.
