Pros

Fantastic IT systems means ease and accuracy of report data available. Good at sharing what's happening throughout the business and downloading from Senior Management. Highly positive and friendly culture. Fair to their staff and suppliers. Will always aim to promote from within before externally. Good opportunities to move between departments and within the HRG group to/from Homebase. Excellent working environment - beautiful, light, modern offices with great restaurant.

Cons

Often expect too much from their staff - hours can be very long (including weekends at certain periods). In Merchandise, all team members have to be in work for 7am to prepare reports for Monday's Trading Meeting. Their current lacklustre trading performance is of concern although i feel confident they have the right leadership and strategy in place to turn it around.

Pros

There are opportunities to advance to management internally, there is a lot of flexibility in hours and most times can be work to accommodate you as far as there is prior notice. There is also different roles to fit different personalities and also to gain experience in different sections of the store.

Cons

management need to find more creative ways to motivate staff and also to hear what the staff may feel is missing from the store.
