Pros

Staff discount is a plus if anything? Meet plenty of nice colleagues within the store.

Cons

The company has invested large sums into expansion, but practically zero into its wider infrastructure. There is no automation in areas such as ordering, and each store is poorly equipped. Turnover across all areas of the business is very high especially among retail assistants and store managers who just cave in due to pressure. The hours are long as expected but you will often put in extra for no recognition which would go a long way to improve the atmosphere. Avoid if you can.

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.
