Pros

Great company, plenty of options to progress if you are willing to relocate. Paid overtime including travelling to and from other locations, travel expenses paid from petty cash. Generally good morale in the company.

Cons

Poor staff purchase scheme, out dated uniform and computer system. Some stores rely heavily on cover staff but this can be good for those covering.
