Pros

Focus on developing people, great regional manager team, commitment of staff, good support IF you know where to go for it. Some really great aspirations of where to take the business.

Cons

Training at lower levels is poor, external recruits don’t get enough support, disorganised. Still technologically behind, and there doesn’t always seem to be sound commercial thinking behind decisions made.

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
