Pros

Great team to work with Paid weekly Slightly above National Minimum Wage

Cons

Hours - having to be there for 7am, even on a Sunday Long shifts Management didn't like you being ill or having time off Worked more hours than contract with no additional holiday days Standard pay on bank holidays Sometimes stayed overtime due to delivery not being done Stock takes always ran late and it was awful if you had an early start the next morning Late night finishes at half past 8 was awful if you had a 7am start the following day

Pros

15% discount Nothing else is a pro

Cons

Micro management I’ve never experienced in 10 years of retail management. They’re living in the stone ages in terms of technology. Hourly staff get paid to 15 mins so upper management will try and shaft your pay in the name of prod, no clock in/out machine so you’re reliant on managers clocking you accurately. Everything they do is just weird and backwards. They don’t believe in employee law, 11 hour rest period being the big one.
