Pros

Hardworking ethic required, quite formal, but there was a willingness to invest in training, basically any time I wanted to update my skills my boss would sign off on it. That was great. They treated me very well when I became ill - there was never any problem about the time off or the hospital visits following the surgery. It was clear they valued me and wanted me to get well and there would be no implications. Christmas was always great, they would treat the staff very well too. I guess, looking back, they were a great company to work for.

Cons

Some of the personalities in the company were a challenge to deal with, but that is the same everywhere.

Pros

As long as you're with good company and willing to take on responsibility, you can enjoy it. For example, moving on to Customer Services.

Cons

Work can be demeaning when you're cleaning up shops floors. Customers can be annoying but that comes with any job with customers. Work can get very busy and somewhat stressful.
