Pros

Some of the staff were lovely but won't be there long.

Cons

Shop floor filthy, defrosted goods being re-frozen and sold on, zilch security, fortnightly backbreaking stock takes (why) it doesn't stop pilfering which is where your stock goes through lack of security. I walked when they told me to stay on the premises for MY UNPAID break. The staff (male) toilets were disgusting, someone had been dragged up. The whole wretched organisation needs dragging into the 21st century. The final part of their motto is "smiley faces". I found that hilarious as the only time the staff smiled was when they were leaving the building. They are a little scruffy company competing in a smart world, won't be long before it all goes pear shaped.

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.
