Pros

Good salary, flexible working and good working hours. Great team and working environment - what else can I add? :-) I’m a firm believer that work should remain as work and not a social “let’s make friends” type of environment (to all the snowflakes out there claiming they can’t be friends with people without being told they can’t) - I can’t agree.. I haven’t experienced this at all. I’m very grateful for the colleagues I have and the team I’m in. The management takes great pride in their staff. Unless you’ve worked in a heavy sales environment with unrealistic targets and management over your head, you haven’t had it bad at all. SOL Retail is the opposite to this, every day is different and there is always something you can do! Staff are nice and the overall environment is friendly and welcoming.

Cons

things can change drastically very quickly every day. JUST STAY ON YOUR TOES - and you’ll be fine.

Pros

I was really lucky to work with some lovely people and make some great friends.

Cons

It's taken me nearly 4 years to get over how I was treated and to understand that not every employer treats you this way. The saddest thing is I know people who were treated a lot worse than me! I was promised a lot and nothing came from it. Jobs were moved around like nothing I have ever seen before which left everyone confused and never able to reach their full potential. I felt like I was kept at a certain level to keep me in my place. I spent a lot of time becoming extremely anxious and isolated in this role and it's taken me a while to get my spark back. Work friendships are frowned upon and I believe this is so management can control everyone. Which is a shame, as what boss wouldn't want a group of happy workers who look out for each other?
