Pros

good money, good staff,

Cons

only a hand full of good store managers, area managers are normally bullies. unrealistic expectations set for people they don't like which is never east to watch even if you are being treated fairly. systems and processes are old and out dated.

Pros

overtime available equal opportunities employer our store had a good staff room with pool table, tv and good kitchen area always got your breaks to meet legal standards isn't 0hour so always promised the same hours each week some stores do offer night shifts paid holidays (i got around 13 days a year)

Cons

very understaffed have been cautioned on tattoos/piercings/hair colour and makeup despite having reminds how to treat its customers all the same for their appearance inappropriate uniform for the working conditions our air con had been broken for over a year and a half and i was asked to wear long sleeves to cover tattoos very pushy with overtime to meet standards if understaffed no discounts to staff apart from at christmas no double time etc my store was above mim wage as it was a city store but i know most aren't expected to train new staff (most companies this is supervisors or managements job)
