Pros

Company Ethos, Drive to Contribute to Communities, Understanding of Work Life balance, Helpful and motivated people (mostly). Would recommend to anyone who can get on with all sorts of different people.

Cons

Lots of Man Utd supporters! Different divisions are organised in silos so there are often competing and opposite viewpoints, so anything across more than one division is harder to organise than it should be. This is a well known situation.

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
