Pros

Pay is good. That is the only thing, nothing else.

Cons

Long hours. You stay till the job is done. Doesn't matter if you have 40 pallets or 60. You don't go home. Being pressured into overtime. No feedback, except negative feedback. If you want to leave on time, you are threatened with negative performance reviews and 100% will get into an argument with the morning Assistant Manager. You can work 70 hours a week, with one day off. They rotate till 4 am but you have to stay till the manager comes in at 5 am in the morning and then you have to stay till he checks the store. Only two people on nights and you work 40000 pounds worth of delivery.

Pros

Good pay for role, decent benefits package, not too overly 'corporate' acti ng

Cons

**THIS IS SPECIFIC TO MKT H'BRO STORE - I started at Kettering and had no issues there** Constant management turnover (up to area manager level) so no consistency, understaffed, occasional 'casual' bullying from management ("it's just banter, don't take it so personally!), ZERO training or advancement (and I mean for all staff below mgmt, not just me) for 1.5yrs... I could go on but I won't!
