      Pros

      The job is straightforward and simple compared to other retail jobs

      Cons

      Some very early shifts when there are deliveries, Timetables are flexible so means you will never be working the same days week on week.

                    There are no Pro's unfortunately.

                    Cons

                    Well what can I say. I wouldn't even bother applying for a job at this 'Dump'. You get unfairly treated for slightest thing you do wrong (as I was treated) You get no thanks off certain Managers if you do a good days work. This is how you get treated for 5 years service, Ok you get 250 pounds which is taxed (absolute joke) I you want to treated like S... Just come and work at this I recommend it, 😂

                        Pros

                        Great team. People are great. Get the correct training and career opportunities. Great benefits including discount at BNQ, discounts through the Hapi app as well as Simply Health. Shares in screwfix at a discount also. Great chance to progress. Opportunities to do more hours. Double pay on bank Holidays.

                        Cons

                        Pay could be better but they do increase every year in line with cost of living. Your manager can make a big difference, like anywhere. Screwfix never seem to close, so working over bank Holidays can be a pain as they do not do reduced opening hours.

                      If asked what type of management style to you prefer? How do you feel about micromanagement? How do you answer this professionally? Nobody likes micromanagement so why ask? Maybe bc the manager there does?

                      In an interview is it a good practice to draw examples for answering situational questions from the most recent and relevant experience or should I draw examples from other previous experiences as well?
