      Pros

      Strong culture of mutual support and respect. Professionalism of department (certainly the team I worked in). Good management. As with any review there should be the caveat that my personal experience may not necessarily be reflected by others in different departments under different management.

      Cons

      Inevitable and interminable change can cause upset and can be unsettling. That said good management can mitigate this. The culture and ethos of a company stated may not necessarily be reflected by all managers and departments. So I cannot state my experience was universal.

      Pros

      £7.20 an hour, £10.80 on bank holidays and hours worked over 38.75 in a week

      Cons

      Rewards are aimed at shopfloor staff more than stockroom. Bonuses are given out rarely but when they are, they are distributed poorly (£25 for regular staff, £750 for team leaders and £2,000 for managers). Hours are given out based on friendships with shop floor staff instead of based on performance or store needs. Lower management seem to do nothing/next to nothing when the Manger is off, there are times when the shop floor is busy but all 5 members of management (in the managers absence) are joking around in the office, usually slagging off the staff they don't like. Security Cameras are installed to catch STAFF doing wrong, not to stop customers or even staff from stealing, just to see if they are chatting or giving out things incorrectly.
