Pros

The team you work with which higher management make you bully out if they don’t hit unrealistic ridiculous targets when the stores are empty

Cons

Everything is a con Area manager- nothing other than a bully. Who would want you to bully staff out for no valid reasoning. Would regularly bad mouth staff on loud speaker to HR which was considered funny. The worst person you could ever work for in every possible way. Ridiculous targets regardless of minimal footfall. If your area manager didn’t like a staff member they would intimidate and bully them out of there position. Too many cons to actually write.

Pros

Enjoyed working with the employees in store and even the store manager, the environment was friendly and made you want to go to work everyday. The company had good incentives in place which created healthy competition between stores and employees. The company were also big on allowing any employee who wanted to develop their knowledge and skills, they put tools in place for employees to work their way up. Company have good staff discount, and I particularly enjoy the training sessions that we had every month.

Cons

The area manager for the north, was genuinely the most horrific human I have ever had to deal with. I don’t know one employee in the company that had a good work to say about her, and I know a lot of store managers that left purely because of how she handled and dealt with people. This was unfortunate as we had another area manager before her who was much more supportive and motivating. Now I have myself worked as a manager and worked under numerous managers in different work places and I understand that as a manager you have to be firm but fair but this particular AM was just firm and unfair. She had absolutely no people skills, and talked to people like they were nothing. She used to make you dread going into work if you knew she was visiting the store. She made no positive impact on the store and team and instead of motivating you (which any good manager does), she had the opposite effect and made you feel deflated and not want to work. I did want to progress in the company after I had been running a store for a short time but the AMs attitude and behaviour eventually made me give up the position and then leave to work for another company.

Pros

Can’t think of any to be honest.

Cons

Made me fight for an incredibly reasonable salary. Then they made me redundant within three months of being in brand despite my reviews and performance being immaculate. They then gave the key holder the duties and responsibilities of the Assistant Manager role without the contract or paper work as this would have been illegal as the ASM role was made redundant. You don’t even get discount until three months in…
