Pros

15% discount for workers and yearly bonuses at Christmas

Cons

My contracted hours were 12 per week, which seemed good for me as I’m in full time sixth form 5 days a week. But after 3 months of working I was being given 26hour weeks which left me with no free time, not even on a social aspect but no time to revise. They claimed to try and bring my hours down but that didn’t happen for a further 5 months. This lead me to quit

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.
