Pros

The expectation of doing multiple people's roles meant I learned a lot and used it to find a great next role

Cons

Firstly, the Owner bought itself out of administration for an undisclosed price so that it could 'trim' the company e.g. close stores and fire employees without paying them their entitled redundancies. Other: - No discount equivalent for men - Below average pay - Continuous redundancies and reorganizations - I was part of 3 in 2.5 years - Decisions based on opinion not on data - Cliquey attitude and behaviour - I was told by colleagues I didn't deserve a promotion because they were upset they didn't get one - Allowing of unprofessional behaviour so as not to upset people and have them leave - Constant expectation to work more than your contracted hours to show 'commitment' - Outdated processes, systems, and equipment - Anyone truly trying to change things for the better is met with resistance and suspicion

Pros

- Immediate team were friendly and supportive - Gained some experience

Cons

- The founder does not respect or value his employees. - Impossible to get anything through department heads so you stop trying. - Incompetent and unsupportive HR department. - No career development. Pay rises and even simple job title changes are rarities. - No flexible working. - No work culture, very few perks - Hierarchal structure means even the simplest requests or tasks take far too long to get through the door. You have to speak to your line manager, who speaks to their line manager, who speaks to their line manager, who speaks to the head of department, who speaks to the department director... and so on.

Pros

70% staff discount on clothes and jewellry

Cons

Horrible, unwelcoming management, long shifts (not allowed to sit down) and minimum wage pay. Often ended being paid less than minimum wage due to requirement to buy uniform out of own pocket
