Pros

Prons,,,, none, nearly all workers are foreigners despread for work so they don't complain about working conditions

Cons

Bully managers, no freedom of speech for staff. Even if you have a 25 hour contract they do whatever they like. when they want you can work more then 40 hours on a 25 hour contract, and if they choose to give you 10-15 is nothing you can do about it. You work like a donkey with no appreciation from management. I have been called names by deputy managers. You are on an evening shift that says 10 or 10:30 and you get out after midnight. If the managers like you, you are lucky, if they dont they make your life hell

Pros

Salary, Company Car, Company Phone

Cons

Management shows no appreciation for employees at any level. Morale is low and the environment is negative which causes a lot of turnover and therefore district managers change districts very often. This means there is no accountability for which DM actually made a positive or negative impact on a store/district. Also, asking direct leaders about advancement opportunities is frowned upon. After working for the company for 3 years (no sooner) you get shown the job descriptions of the 5 positions you could be promoted to at your annual review just so you know what to say you are interested in if you are ever presented with the opportunity. The culture is very conservative and not open to change/new ideas.
