Pros

city centre location when i worked here with no salary issues such as late or missing payments and they are a large financial group with various projects and things such as taste and tell vouchers./

Cons

Low pay for the work of 2 people basically, never happy and expect more from you than you can possibly give, constant changes which do not allow you to gain any competent way of working and ridiculous ideas implemented without listening to the staff. Ridiculous work life balance.

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
