Pros

Struggling to think of any.

Cons

Terrible induction - the worst I've ever received. It consisted of watching a few videos on a computer screen in the manager's office and then being placed straight onto the shop floor. Rude and disrespectful management who fail to lead by example and only know how to delegate. Shop floor staff get treated appallingly and receive no support from management who prefer to spend their time in the warehouse or the office. Shockingly poor rate of pay. Other retailers pay a much fairer wage. Shop floor staff aren't made to feel valued. They're just a name on a rota. Constantly belittled and told to work harder and more quickly.

Pros

Good staff Some good managers who genuinely care (but get overlooked) Young people are nice Work/life balance is ok since they don’t actually give you any hours Customers are chill they don’t really expect much

Cons

Lots of grooming that gets overlooked by the company, young girls are vulnerable as nothing is done about it and these men aren’t held accountable When you speak up about this, it gets treated as a rumour and/or lie Never enough staff Managers have favourites and make it blatantly obvious Managers will blank you the entire shift if they don’t like you Managers will be working so hard for years just to be overlooked Training is non existent Nepotism Completely outdated - tills are over 20 years old If you’re working evenings you’ll finish later than scheduled Don’t even bother to give you a chair if you’re on tills No balance - you’ll be put on tills for 8 hours straight for days in a row 10% discount:(
