Pros

Because if staff turn around I would make a new friend every 2.3 weeks on average.

Cons

Middle managers are out of control. They don't believe the company rules apply to them, even though all literature including all colleague code states it does. I certainly feel that senior management are either kept in the dark or turn a blind eye. These same manager's have a pack mentality. If one of them takes a dislike to you they all try to bully and harras you. When a grievance is highlighted it is swept under the carpet. Any promotion is based on if your face fits, your a family member or a friend.

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
