Pros

If you want to get into the world of retail as a newcomer it is fine, since processes are very simple.

Cons

Since the business model is quite successful, longer serving staff relate this success to themselves. New staff is treated not very well.

Pros

- well paid job especially for Bulgarian standards - very good benefits, such as mobile phone, company car, 25 days holiday for employees at management level

Cons

- keeping extremely formal relationship with colleagues favoured - mainly suitable employees promoted - often not asked to think, but to perform - a lot of overtime which is not compensated - liaisons between colleagues are not tolerated - cameras everywhere in the HQ as if participating in Big Brother - layoffs happen overnight
