Business Outlook

Pros

The recruitment process was smooth and very professional throughout. Meeting a lot of interesting people and the community events that are run. The shop floor colleagues are by and large great and really try to give their best every day.

Cons

Some store manager encourage a culture of department managers not leaving until they do. This meant I ended up working 18 hour days at least 2 - 3 times a week. If you ignored this unspoken rule your department would be 'walked' the next day and a multitude of mistakes found. Department managers are encouraged to bully the colleagues in their department in order to meet excessive targets.

Pros

Its regular work and fairly secure,there are a few qualifications available to get but only if you have no formal qualifications from school or college.Management leave you alone if you are good at the job unless they want to put more work on you

Cons

More and more work being put on to the night shift but given less time to achieve it all,every fault in the shop is blamed on the night shift despite that shift given 90% of the workload.getting time off can be a problem. No consistent way of working,a new process introduced every few weeks even if its been proven before that it doesn't work
