Pros

The pay goes a bit up after 3 years to £11.90, and will be going back up in June to £12.30. But not worth it.

Cons

No life-work balance Pay too little for doing the job of 4 people at the time. Managers keep comparing people and expect too much. They use Bradford index, meaning if you’re ill for about 3 days in a year you can get disciplinary. Your mental health will be ruined along with your body since they do not invert on good quality materials for staff. No discount. You do not get treated like a human being, they want a robot. Not allowed to talk to colleagues because you have to work and as fast as they want not as fast as you can. Sometimes they want you to finish early and you can’t say no, specially on closes. Store manager can be off sick as long as you want meanwhile they will bother you when you’re off sick asking she will you come back.

Pros

Kind, Nice and Dedicated People and decent work/life balance

Cons

Benefits Surprisingly Bad Significantly Below Industry Average * Anti-Family - No Parental Leave * Bad Healthcare Benefits - 90 days before insurance goes into effect - the minimum allowed under US Law - Low-End Healthcare Benefits once it goes into effect * No Vacation Policy - No PTO Benefit - You have heard of unlimited PTO - this is limited PTO, but with no vesting value whatsoever - so you better use it by the end of the year. * Bad retirement policy - your (illusory) IRA doesn’t vest for 6 years. * Virtually no HR Department! * Disorganized, No Institutional Support
