Pros

Reasonable benfits (salary, leisure reimbursement for gigs, arts etc.) Good intranet Cheap food available on breaks Salary consistent across age groups

Cons

Extremely inconsistent breaks between employees (deliberate due to hour structuring) Poor branch management Training almost non existent (relying on other staff to ad-hoc teach you) Difficulty booking holidays at times Inability to appropriately schedule overtime - regularly asked to 'add hours' at end of shifts rather than simply sign up to shifts with ability to plan Upward mobility difficult without full time role & very good relationship with managers No floor staff suggestions listened to
