Pros

The colleagues are like one big family, and everyone gets along togethor. Fun, fast paced working environment.

Cons

Low pay for the job we actually do. Section leaders get the stresses of a department manager in the new management structure for 65p more an hour than colleagues get, the extra stress and working 60 hours a week just isn't worth it!! Development within stores seem to have halted to a stand still with all the displaced managers taking any and all the remaining manager jobs going. Being promised development and promotions and it just seems they are fake promises to keep the section leaders happy!!

Pros

Good pay for the work done Friendly environment Genuinely nice colleagues Good benefits (such as discount on shopping) I enjoyed working there, it's excellent as a job just to pay the bills because as soon as you leave, you leave any worries or stress there too.

Cons

Very unorganised Managers tend to be less than effective Too many big egos in management that need to get over themselves and concentrate on the actual job I wouldn't want to stay longer than I did because it gets so boring, doing the same old thing every single day. The managers don't make me want to progress either, because I wouldn't want to be the same as them.
