Pros
15% staff discount, 6 weeks hoilday, bonusus for lots of different kpi's and hey even a bonus for just going to work. Any other retailer offer these? Yes you have to work hard but thats retail and A good manager can manage a Farmfoods store sucessfully efficiently and productively i have for over 10years and have traind all my staff according to the handbook and trainging moduals and many are now in managment roles or happy working as they are, labour turnover usually students moving on but with the correct structure this turnover is easily managed by hiring good honest, keen and people with a posative attiude... so i guess all you negative people leavine poor feedback either never believed in the values or how the store was run... yes a new manager learning the trade may work 50-60hrs i did for a while but soon got to working only what you are asked to work as a manager 45hrs/week through hard work, training and develooping your team. The company is still learing and improveing year upon year.
Cons
Ammount of stocktakes however most small supermarkets do weekly stock counts but not full store broken down into departments however if your results are good you count less poor results lead to recounts etc again team exercise and honest staff also help its not always no staff to catch shoplifters.... are searches being carried out?
