Pros

- Discount within store - Some staff

Cons

- Hires staff that are incapable of completing basic tasks - All staff are basically a box ticking exercise - Some lower level staff seem like they’re in charge and undermine the Team Leader on shift - Too much pressure and not enough reward or acknowledge - Unprofessional when it comes to following company policies, I.e absence. - Long work hours without legal break entitlement - Constantly short staffed - Tense atmosphere within store - Favouritism is in full force - Lack of support from higher ups - Poor work/life balance - Puts you on lowest possible contract but expects you to work in excess of 45 hours per week, fails to increase contract when requested for several months - No consequences for regular shoplifters

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
