Pros

10% discount and 20% around paydays taking their prices to about Tesco level

Cons

Terrible management Promotion only if your face fits and some managers clearly promoted out of their depth. IT systems a joke. Badly chosen, no project management, unreliable, convoluted and negligible training from people who don't know the poorly integrated systems properly. HR overstaffed looking for new ways to make redundancies Head office morale low. Store staff distraught and clearly and understandably bewildered by the atrocious management. Managers overpaid and the higher managers on huge bonuses for incompetence. They are only looking after themselves.

Friendly environment Great team building skills learnt Relatively easy work

Security is poor, many cases of shoplifting and threats of assault to staff members with the upper management doing the bare minimum to rectify this.
