      If you're flexible they're flexible

      Store supervisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great pay and work life balance. Very diverse culture. Plenty of room for them to grow, and they really listen to employee feedback.

      Cons

      Some kinks in communication from HQ but that is expected with a newly developed company.

      Nice team, good salary, much pressure, long hours

      Customer assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You work in a really friendly environment. Staff members try to help each other as much as they can. Also, the pay rate is one of the best in the industry.

      Cons

      Hours are really long and you're all the time under the pressure because so many tasks must be completed as quick as possible.

      Avoid German Work Culture

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good salaries (but when you divide by the number of hours and stress, not so good at all). If you like to live in your job then for you. It will become your life and your life will become one with it.

      Cons

      Everything else. German work culture and sense of humour (i.e. no humour) - avoid at all costs. Results are the most important and only important metric there. People are tools to get the results. Only good when you start with no experience and/or through a graduate program. Otherwise you won't fit in easily. Best positions 'reserved' for the Irish and of course Germans. Most of the hardwork in th stores done by Eastern Europeans. And the management is wondering why there are no more Irish in the stores. Because it's to hard and not worth the money.
