Pros

Team members are nice. Free food during work hours. Discounted food for yourself and a friend outside of work hours. Discount at other stores like JD.

Cons

I was made to wash dishes for 2 and a half hours without a towel to dry my hands or a break. No drinks during work unless on your dinner and breaks. Managers are awful!!! Floor is really slippery. Not a nice job at all. Rotas. Early early starts.

Pros

Lots of consistent work, good flexible schedule policy and work life balance.

Cons

It's all white men in charge of this organization with one woman. They lack diversity in their leadership team big time. Over the last few years there have been a number of lay offs and there is a big lack of certainty about jobs. It's extremely difficult to trust leadership when you feel like no one cares about you as a person - and even if you are doing a ton of work, i.e. lots of late night, and weekend work, being a high performer doesn't mean you are exempt from potentially getting let go. And if you don't get let go, you have to worry every day about when the other shoe is going to drop. They literally do not care at all about their employees. They spent a lot of time telling us about the new building in the city, only to let us now all worry of any of us will end up making it there. It kind of feels like a sham. The compensation is not as good as good as you can get other places and there seems to be a huge disparity over how they treat men and women. There are almost no women in leadership in IT at all. And there are almost no women in the infrastructure team - literally I can think of one and that is it. It just seems kind of unbalanced.
