Pros

Some leisure benefits including discount. general staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons

Very much a dictatorship, there is a firm and clear hierarchy within this particular branch - making for uncomfortable working. There is very little compassion for partners - small things like time off for family issues seems to be an unwanted problem. All managers are in it for themselves - plenty of brown - nosing going on. As partners of the business, you'd expect them to pull their weight, yet stand from the side line observing and telling 'minions' what to do. Don't let them fool you into career progression, I've seen it throughout the business, that they'll use you where and when needed, but when it comes to promotion you're left standing. You're on your feet all day, with fewer and fewer staff "because of the shift to online" it is putting additional strain on the existing members, many have back, knee and hip pain. They expect a lot of work out of you for not much pay - definitely better things out there.
