Pros

- 50% discount - Quick progression - Great team members

Cons

- Staff turnover in this company is unbelievable, people are always leaving. That’s why progression is very quick, constantly having to support other stores because they have no staff. - Constantly cutting hours but expecting the same results to be met. - No staff room or toilets in most stores, can’t really relax on your break, expected to eat outside or in the stockroom - Made to sell products that are faulty and expected to act surprised when they are returned

Pros

Friendly atmosphere, lot of importance to child friendly workplace health and safety.

Cons

Blind eye to specialised masters IT degrees and prior SCM work experience which some of their retail assistants have from their past. Too much store politics and favouritism. Unequal expectations from newer and older employees at same level. “Drop and serve customers first” rule doesn’t apply to older employees, only expected out of newer employees even if they are doing multiple tasks. Intimidating way of telling mistakes which were made unknowingly. Makes you dull for the rest of the shift. Some older employees say they are fixing the back room but are actually not, just taking breaks, leaving you alone on the shop floor.
