Pros

Discount, colleagues, local, nothing else.

Cons

Managers think they are gods, no people skills, poor delegation. Not the advancement opportunities they lead you to believe. System allows these management monkeys to not pay correctly.

Pros

The Discount, the Friends, the interaction with interesting people, the flexibility of the job and not much more to be honest.

Cons

Wage, SUPERVISOR STAFF (not managers) The new system of creating supervisors that have minimal training and qualifications, chosen by the management staff in the store is simply RIDICULOUS! You're getting staff members who have been there for less than a year sometimes or completely unqualified to handle a team of people, doing all the managers work and treating every normal staff member like rubbish. They believe the have the right and authority to treat some staff members like they're beneath them and personally i think its a terrible system. I could go on about any other problems with the job.

I'm a home shopping driver so I get to do my own thing. There's no take home pressure, I simply turn up, do my job and go home. Always plenty of overtime when I want it.

Cons

Can be really physically demanding. Low pay, At £7 an hour it's the lowest paying company in the sector. 4 Weekly wage.
