Pros

Young team, however can't think of much else

Cons

Awful Pay Higher management do no physical labour Store Manager was a bully Area managers come in store and expect it to look pristine each time and suggest things that they have no clue about as they don't work in our particular store Working busy saturday night shifts in a small local store with 20+ cages of stock you're expected to put out but have 2/3 other staff on with you and even if you get all the deliverly completed, then higher management complain about if the facing isn't quite to their standard No breaks for team leaders Absolutely no work life balance Poor contracted hours compared to actual hours worked. Always a part time contract even though I worked full time hours. Leading me to never take a full week off due to missing out on wage

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
