    Pros

    There are really good company benefits such as getting staff discount and extra points from different internal events. Great feeling part of a close team.

    Cons

    It is a very stressful and high strung environment to work in. There is very low staff morale a lot of the time and quite a high staff turnover rate so it feels like there are constantly new people coming in that need trained

    Pros

    The staff discount is pretty much instant...as long as you can get your line manager to actually sort it for you.

    Cons

    I was Christmas temp in the Bournemouth store and the management was the worst I've ever come across. My line manager was an absolute moron, I have no idea how he managed to get a job there, let alone be promoted! The longest standing members of staff were treated appallingly so you can imagine how the Christmas staff were treated. The female managers were snotty, stuck up and extreamly rude. I could go on....
