Pros

15% Staff discount and that's it.

Cons

Where do I even begin? I applied for the part time position which included a 12 hour contract spread across 3 days, my second week there they bumped my hours up to 25 and then to 35 hours! All without my consent. I applied for PART-TIME work for a reason and had no say in my hours. When I called in sick there is no understanding at all. Long work hours and you get treated like slaves. Stocktakes every other Saturday that take about 3 hours until midnight, not paid for overtime and the company itself cuts corners to stay cheap and competitive. No security and customers are sometimes aggressive with shoplifting being a regular occurrence. If you care about your health and well-being then AVOID THIS PLACE!

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.
