Pros

free uniform (but only at every 3 months)

Cons

Poor hours - either work more than contracted hours or they just give your hours away to "favourites" uniform - gets chosen by managers, only allowed to have a uniform that costs £60 every 3 months - expected to buy new uniform if needed management - very poor, harsh and clearly had favourites, managers bullying staff, managers making you do meaningless non-work related stuff such as ordering mcdonalds!! work rules - unclear, some rules for some but those who were favourites got away with everything - Managers never played by the rules pay - sometimes underpaid and late, holiday pay never paid unless chased up holiday - always refused for ridiclous reasons yet favourites got holiday whenever, holidays needed to be "booked" in advance of 3-4 months (but could take the holiday off of you whenever they felt like it), Holiday was rare! Penalties - penalties given to you for ridiclous reasons such as being in the shop (on your day off or after your shift!) and not being allowed on your phone bag searches - random bag searches whenever they fewlt like it, would give you penalties if your phone was on or if you had loose change or spare clothes in your bag (would not listen to you as to why you had them)
