Pros

- The people at head office are hardworking and mostly nice to work with. - Due to the horrendous contract and nature of the company there is always something to laugh about.

Cons

- All the negatives stem from the billionaire owner Phillip Day. Who is essentially a poor mans Mike Ashley, with just as few morals. - The contract is stripped of any benefits, and there is no reward for positive company performance... even though PD apparently takes a multi £m bonus from the profits. - Severe nepotism within the top ranks filled with PD's family and friends, who don't necessarily know what they're doing. - Chaotic work environment, mostly due to indecisiveness from the top. - Often have to work overtime with no appreciation or time back in lieu. - The handling of COVID-19 was atrocious, with many like myself being made redundant at the first sign of trouble (despite the gov furlough scheme). Also highly unethical approach to dealing with suppliers. DO NOT WORK SOMEWHERE YOU WILL NOT BE VALUED.

Pros

There are no Pros at all.

Cons

Terrible handling of COVID-19. The head office was in temporary offices which were cramped, had no running water (I am not joking), atrocious state of hygiene. This was when the pandemic hit, following this they a huge amount of people redundant across the company with no chance to furlough.

Pros

there is nothing great about working here!

Cons

*Feisty, everyone had their own groups which made it harder for new people to fit in and bullying that people ignore. *A lot of people are losing their jobs, the old people push out the new team. *Struggling to stay relevant, no job security. *Trying to be something they are not. *Clothes are far to expensive for what they are and do not follow trends. *A lot of talking behind peoples backs, even own team members. *Long working hours due to not being able to afford to pay more people to have on the team and you're not appreciated.
