      Job is ok, company feels big and uncaring at times

      Pros

      Lots of overtime available Friendly colleagues

      Cons

      Staff come and go a lot and the few who have stuck it out for a long time 20 years or more in some cases, are not given any kind of rewards or incentives for their loyalty. The People Office are over worked and not very approachable. There is always threats of redundancoes looming, although they try to avoid this where they can. Very profit driven Hard to get noticed, good work goes unrecognised

      A thankless task at times.

      Pros

      Development opportunities frequently available, due in part to the high turnover rate! Offers flexibility if you're only after part time hours.

      Cons

      Constant cutbacks to wages, staffing levels mean that the workload is spread more thinly across fewer and fewer workers. This leads to a vicious cycle where the shop gets worse (availability, cleanliness etc), so sales drop, so they cut back even more, and so on. Work life balance is non existent on nights. Regularly expected to pull 12-13hr shifts on a daily basis. Days managers come in and treat you like an errand boy when your shift was due to finish an hour ago. Standards only matter when there is a GSM or regional manager visit due. Management cares more about looking good in front of their mates than they do about providing the best shop possible for customers on a daily basis. Don't offer full time contracts so good luck trying to make ends meet if you're on your own. Constantly missing targets and forecasts, I feel my store is a sinking ship.

      Plenty of opportunity to move around

      Pros

      It's a friendly and open working environment, with a real buzz about the building. They hire for personality and competence, and you can be trained to do most jobs you have an interest in, so it's fairly easy to move internally. Training is good, and you are encouraged to attend training for soft skills. The 10% discount is useful, and they hold a few double discount events throughout the year.

      Cons

      Progression can be difficult, and you often have to move department to move up. They will pay you as little as they can get away with, and even if you move department or level you might not get a significant pay raise. Personally, I'd like to see more women in higher positions - it feels a bit like "jobs for the boys" in some departments, which can be discouraging.
