Pros

None at all horrendous company to work for. I would not work for them again even at double my old salary

Cons

Start at 5am if your short staffed of have any one call in sick your expected to stay, I regularly worked from 5 in the morning till 9 at night with no extra pay as managers are salaried( could even be 11pm on stock take nights) replenishment system is the biggest joke I have ever seen I went 17 days without a day off which is illegal. Area managers are always stressed and are little of no help. The divisional manager had no clue at all how a retail business works. Complete and utter shambles of a company

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.
