Pros

Staff discount Uniform Some great colleagues/partners there

Cons

Very hard work for low wages, expected to do several jobs and then manager would ask why you hadn’t completed the one you were originally doing. Not treated very respectfully, never thanked for working on or extra even throughout Covid when it was really difficult, but a lot of petty rules implemented by ruthlessly ambitious bosses. Used to be a brilliant company to work for, but now no longer cares about staff and customer service, most of the decent managers have retired or left now. I believe two of the worst managers have been moved on to a nearby store now so hopefully things have improved. Some health and safety behind the scenes was very debatable surprising in this sort of company,
