Pros

Plenty of overtime available, especially around Christmas

Cons

Asked to work every bank holiday under the sun especially around Christmas. Rude customers, managers would shout at me in front of customers. Worst place I have ever worked, treated appallingly by colleagues managers and customers, would not recommend working there at all

Pros

Great brand that offers an employee international experience in a mass market environment. Risk takers so good environment for people who are like minded. Great creative brand to be apart of. CEOs vision is exceptional and if filtered through to the teams makes for great moral and ultimately sales boost

Cons

Poor resources on HR and strategic decision making which can delay progress and frustrate employees thus causing them to leave. If you want to excel you need to be prepared to invest in unpaid overtime. Unfortunately management struggle to communicate vision adequately to their teams and are quick to lay blame on individuals as opposed to understanding circumstances within a team.
