Pros

Training Opportunity for promotion Fast paced and use environment Good place to make friends Learn a wide range of retail skills

Cons

Poor staff discount, even for managers who must wear the product (15%) Lack of work/life balance Rosters change on a weekly basis Lack of positivity in the work place Management is intimidating and treats staff with little to no respect Favouritism shown to certain staff members Opportunities given only to those who are favoured Lack of appreciation of highperforming staff members which leads to a high turnover of staff Lack of flexibility in workplace Senior management bully lower level management Unspoken requirement to perform work duties out of working hours Pressure from management to skip days off at busy times (sale, stocktake) with the "promise" of getting the time in lieu back Poor pay relative to the amount of work put in. Different employees are paid different amounts depending on how well they negotiate with HR

Pros

There aren’t many pros, pretty chill coworkers I suppose

Cons

Managment is a mess, filled with people who really don’t know what they’re doing and they have empolyees who’s sole purpose is being on their phones and not working, the “GM” is a wreck and doesn’t know how to properly soeak to people as she believes she’s above everyone, and regional isn’t much better
