Pros
The volunteers even though they are bullied by the sore manager they still turn up each day and work for nothing
Cons
Bully culture, never been bullied in my life until I worked here. It’s disgusting the way the manager and paid staff speak to customers, staff and volunteers! It’s all very clicky too so when you reach out for help from the area managers they just set you up on your day off and create a fire hazard in your store so they can fire you over it. Lol So basically shut up or put up.

None at all. Not one.
Cons
Wow what can I say about my time here. Management is a mess, staff are disgraceful. Laziest bunch of people I’ve met. My time was short and not sweet at all. They need to take a good look at this shop, I don’t know how it’s open or how the staff have jobs.
