Pros

There is nothing good about this company. Please avoid or you will kill yourself.

Cons

Long hours, no breaks, depressing work environment, heavy lifting even for women, understaffed, rude colleagues and managers, bullying, no health and safety at work, no social life and the lists goes on. Got back pain in few weeks. You have to work like a donkey. One person has to do 3 peoples job. We should be getting £1000/hr for the amount of mental and physical tourture that we have to go through. Work place is very unorganised. Rota keeps changing and they will call you every single day even on your holiday. Early shift starts at 4-5 am and if you do a closing shift then it's like 2/3 or even 4 in the morning.They don't care about their employees that is why they have so much staff turnover and even the company doesn't accept Union. So please avoid the company if you don't want to go to depression. This job should be the last option.

Pros

High level of pay for similar position Flexible with work hours Progression opportunities (within reason) Good benefits package Challenging work Big rewards but only if you give over every part of your life to the company

Cons

Late closes, early opens make hours unsocial especially with a family Anyone above store management only out to get you and tell you what is wrong, rarely what is right Pay only reflects years of service not level of responsibility, ASM in charge can earn less that 2nd ASM Culture is negative, constantly being reminded that if you don't hit every target they can simply find someone who can
