- Stressful environment with a lot of pressure from senior management at times
- Can be quite demanding for the wage you are on, most of the time you are expected to do mission impossible
- Full of immature older women to just look down on everyone and talk about each other behind their backs
- Depending on department it can be quite a 'mind numbing' job as you are on your own most of the time (customers aside)
- Some training is irrelevant, for my discount card i had to do an online test about disabled parking? and other topics that weren't related to my department in the slightest
- Thrown in at the deep end, you are expected to know everything from day one, includes knowing were all items are and a 20min training session on tills (Believe me customers will make your life hell)
- A lot of managers seem to have 'Big man' syndrome and seem to think because they have a tiny bit of power that they are some kind of god
- Arrogant GSM who gets paid a six figure salary to basically walk around the store all day thinking they are a "god" and making colleagues lives hell, from a business point of view ... wasting money big time
- Quite a lot of department rivalry
- If you are que busting from shop floor then you have to deal with ancient tills which have buttons missing and can be quite confusing at first, also a lot of the "runners" are very rude and throw a stop when you ask for help
- Never feel appreciated
- The 'Stepping stone' programme is basically a dead end job, all though i think they are scrapping it now with the new management structure ( section leaders basically get paid an extra 60p to take the blame for everything and get shouted at constantly, known so many people who have stepped down)
- Full of "Brown noses" and "Favouritism" which is very frustrating at times
- Short staffed all the time, for example i work on a sunday on a very busy department and we usually have three people in unlike saturday when we have about 10
- Lack of motivation
- Unrealistic budgets
