      I have been working at The Money Shop UK full-time

      Pros

      Used to have good bonus scheme where we got about £800 at the end of the tax year but was taken away. Now even if we make so much money we just get our normal salary which is very demotivating for staff and makes other staff members lazy so certain staff members carry the work load.

      Cons

      Should get paid more for what we do.
      Manager is unappreciative of staff doesn’t communicate well.
      The higher staff act like it’s their dad’s company and they have all the power.
      Not all staff treated the same.
      Not able to progress at all been in the company 4 years and given empty promises regarding progression.
      Used to have a good bonus scheme and they took it away, now every month they tell us we are getting a new bonus scheme and let us down every month.

      I worked at The Money Shop UK full-time

      Pros

      The company provided very in-depth training, however I did feel that some the tasks they wanted employees in the shops to complete seems very out of touch with a good customer experience.

      Cons

      Exhausting working environment where you will have days that are non-stop and then days that are very quite.

      Pros

      lovely people to work with

      Cons

      no direction by company, managers leaving without explanation, company does not invest into employees at all,

      Advice to Management

      need to hire management who will care about staff around them, specially cashiers as they are keeping company going. Be truthful do not lie.

      Pros

      Some of the people you work with.

      Cons

      A lot of lone working.
      Having to be a key holder and work alone when you’re only a CSR.
      No lunch breaks when lone working.
      Too much pressure to get loans.
      Management are awful.
      Only get a promotion if your face fits.
      Too many changes not rolled out across company.

      Advice to Management

      Treat your staff better. There should be zero lone working in that type of environment. Employ more members of staff. Don’t take your staffs safety for granted.

      I worked at The Money Shop UK full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      The stores run on small teams, Safety first he company take the security very serious and pays detailed attention to this.

      Cons

      Very little care for the staff that work for them, Security seems to be geared up to scrutinize the staff. Questionable ethics in which short term finance products are sold.

      Advice to Management

      Treat your staff with trust and compassion and they will work harder to achieve for the company. Work out way to provide a necessary service without alienating you customers
