Pros
Discount is good, staff shops in particular have great prices. Met some good friends during my time there.
Cons
- Where do I even start? Worst possible place to work, many have left because of management - Poor pay structure - went from grade 10 to grade 7 with an increase of about £1.50 - Expect you to work silly hours, many times finishing at midight and expect you back in for sale at 4. - Rediculous shifts e.g. 2pm to 11pm. - Repeatedly break the law and have no consideration when it come to employee rights. - Ask you to work time owed and be paid later but when it comes to it, act like they don't know what you're talking about. - Won't give you a holiday in peace, many times i've been forced to come in to cover. - The entire management structure is corrupt to the core. - Put you on 4 hour contracts and then expect you to work full time hours whilst working 'on call'. - With each new manager that comes in, they try their utmost best to get rid of old staff and who are going to be more resilient. - Certain departments are favoured whilst other looked down upon. - Snakes everywhere, some staff looking to become managers will become really pally with managers, then try hang out with regular staff to get more information on what everyone is saying about them and find out any secrets. - Every single task is calculated by the system and they will use it against you when it is not completed on time, yet place huge extra workloads on you and refuse to make anything easier. - Sales staff will repeatedly take advantage of this, dump stock in places, never contribute to keeping stock in order, dump mixed hangers. Managers are fully aware of this yet choose to show a blind eye and expect you to pay the price. - Much of the same story across many stores in the North-West in particular, as we had regular contact with others throughout the region.
