Pros

Staff discounts at 15% above other retailers with extreme cheap prices anyway 29p for 500ml DR pepper/ Fanta ext. Company spending thousands on improving stores and training manager development plan created for development staff to management level, introduced graduate scheme to help grow, Higher preforming managers sent on level 5 courses with chartered management institute. the company is growing and updating its systems constantly including performance reviews, bonus schemes for all staff, return to work interviews, cash counting equipment, and looking in to the auto fill system to remove the need to place orders individually and the value of orders do not need to meet a limit anymore.

Cons

Yes there are early hours and some long hours if you don't have the right team in the store. other than that they are a good company to work for, a lot of people complain as the company expect you to give 110% to your work every day and go home tired at the end, they pay your wages and you should give everything to make your store successful, if your not willing to give 100% the company class you as a drainer and you will be managed out of the business.

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.
