Pros

Some of the staff are friendly.

Cons

Sat navy not up to date, vans are much to large to drive down the streets expected. If busy on the vans, you might get lucky to have 15 mins break on a shift, or at times nothing at all. Job is very stressful.

Hey, thanks for the advice on the vans. Good tip. Those pesky satnavs; I'll be sure to share your feedback with the management teams.

Pros

Very good opportunities to progress through the company if you are willing to do that little bit extra. Company has invested heavily in development of its teams over the past few years.

Cons

Not unlike other retailers, struggling to grow and maintain financial results, therefore pay rises and bonuses have been scarce (unless you are senior management of course). This also has led to the reduction in head counts in stores and departments.
