Shop floor assistant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

colleagues are the best, everyone love each other all feel like one family. the money is good.

Cons

the managers thinking is always tactical and never strategic, managers could pull you from one department and put you on another that you aren't even contracted to work at. managers treat colleagues like animals and expect the input to be the output without considering colleagues opinions and feelings. managers don't care about colleague opinions.

Poorly managed, shopfloor staff are treated like dirt.

Business Outlook

Pros

It's fairly easy work, and the majority of colleagues are friendly and pull their weight.

Cons

Management is schizophrenic to say the least, constant changes in sale and seasonal product placement. Lack of communication between departments, repeated overspending on wages which is indicative of poor budgeting, hence the store is often understaffed. There is a general air of contempt among the managers for shopfloor colleagues, a lack of responsibility and an unprofessional blame culture in the workplace. Personnel are all but impossible to reach for most of the working day, and uniform replacement is non-existent.

Pros

Good colleagues, pay rate good, good atmosphere at work, customers generally nice, discount card. Management happy to cover shop floor jobs when staff shortages arise.

Cons

Busy periods cause section leaders to get stressed out. Sometimes difficult to get off checkout when needing a "comfort' break.
