Pros

15% discount and little else

Cons

very long hours, not uncommon to work over 60 hours a week and 15 hour shifts with no breaks. Unrealistic budgets. Not enough staff to cover shifts. higher management always reminding you that your job is not secure. Negative culture. Little thanks. No family life. Constant phone calls from work on the few days off you get. Poor support from higher management.

Pros

My pay was good for a graduate role. Some people are ok.

Cons

Racism is casually thrown around and accepted as part of the culture. If you are a manager don't expect to have a break. You will be doing 14 hour shifts giving 100% and then doing the exact same the next day. You are not provided with any sort of mentor ship. The shops are disgusting, I once found a mouse floating in the toilet and no one batted and eyelid. It takes everything out of you.

Pros

Well you get paid ! And the staff discount helps the poor pay and long hours.

Cons

As others have said . Soul destroying. Higher management have not got a clue . All are mostly ex Uni people . No life skills and are just puppets . Your card can be marked as a store manager / area manager and pressure is put on you to leave . Some management have been offered pay outs to leave but you have to sign a solicitors letter to keep quiet on how they treat you . They seem to walk all over their staff .
