Pros

Good pay, good hours, usually good staff

Cons

People suffering from any form of mental disability like autism would usually mean management wants to find excuses to dismiss you (like "disruptions" without further elaboration)

We'll make reasonable adjustments throughout the hiring process to ensure that disabled candidates are not disadvantaged.

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
