Pros

No real consequences for a bad job Retail director is a strong leader

Cons

No work life balance You are expected to work harder than any other company and pay does not reflect this They only promote from within for manager upwards and tell you this is because they believe in internal progression when this is driven purely as they can pay you less and get more out of you As a manager of a store you will spend all your time on a till or working stock. Forget managing anyone but your own time Senior team happy to ask you to give more when they couldn’t do it themselves. CEO leads through fear

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.
