      Pros

      If you want to work for a company with a great opportunity for career progression B & M is the one for you! From a general assistant to a store manager I have worked my way up, there is a great step up program if you want to advance your career

        Pros

        B&M are extremely flexible so it’s an ideal job for those who may be only able to work certain hours or days. They give you the opportunity to work up the career ladder and leave you feeling fulfilled. The staff are great and the policies ensure that everyone is safe.

        Cons

        The pay is minimum wage, the contracts are only 8/16 hours but you can work more than that. There is no security so sometimes it’s hard to work when you don’t feel safe.

      Senior Manager

      I am hopeful I’ll get an offer soon. I have an upcoming 10-day trip in 2 months and am wondering when is the right time to bring it up/negotiate time off: When they send me the offer? If yes, do I tell HR or try to reach out to the manager? When I start the job? A few days after I start?
