Pros

Fully expensed company car, phone and laptop. Staff discount of fifteen percent. Nice employees at store level at least

Cons

Everything. Do not work for this company I have been in retail for over 20 years and never in all my career have I seen people treated as badly as the divisional and other area managers treat the staff. Expected to do a 55-60 hour week as a minimum anything less is not acceptable. Was a disciplinary offence to turn your phone off I had phone calls at 4 in the morning not great with 2 young children. I was with a divisional manager while doing a store visit where he just screamed and shouted at two poor supervisors who had been left to it as the store had no manager or assistant manager, ridiculous situation

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.
