Pros

None at all horrendous company to work for. I would not work for them again even at double my old salary

Cons

Start at 5am if your short staffed of have any one call in sick your expected to stay, I regularly worked from 5 in the morning till 9 at night with no extra pay as managers are salaried( could even be 11pm on stock take nights) replenishment system is the biggest joke I have ever seen I went 17 days without a day off which is illegal. Area managers are always stressed and are little of no help. The divisional manager had no clue at all how a retail business works. Complete and utter shambles of a company

Pros

Lots of opportunity for overtime due to store being understaffed.

Cons

As a student at the time and on a 12 hour contract, I had the opportunity to take a significant amount of overtime due to the store being understaffed, however, this crept up to being more than full time hours (40+) due to staff summer holidays. Staff were not in a position to refuse overtime, or even acquire shifts that suited their needs (as someone who relies on public transport, my shifts often began at 6am, even though I had specified this to the manager in an interview). Gloves were not provided as part of uniform, which was quite ridiculous when staff would be unpacking frozen food deliveries for hours. Box cutters were also rare to come by.

Pros

None, makes any job seem great afterwards . Discount is good but only worth it if you generally eat junk food.

Cons

No training. Comic wage budgets and staff made to feel worthless. Discounted prices for customers but a huge price to pay for employees
