• Pay is terrible. We’re on minimum wage, and even the cleaners are paid 5 pence more than us. • Breaks and lunches are run like the military – strict, timed, and not at all humane. • Zero care for employees’ mental health. If you’re struggling, management just tells you to “deal with it.” • If you try to go the extra mile or help the company, you get punished instead of appreciated. They truly don’t care about you. • Forced overtime isn’t explained properly, and when it happens you basically have no choice. You even have to fight for your own holidays. • They expect you to work at lightning speed, but their outdated and slow system makes it impossible

So so toxic!!!!! Lots of gossiping and back stabbing. I’ve seen multiple people in tears because of a certain manager. During my first week the boss had a go at me for not knowing what I was doing. She told me I was too slow and to move faster. It was my second shift!!!! The customer l was serving at the time gave me a small smile, but she was also clearly embarrassed by the managers behavior. The manager expects you to know everything and doesn’t care about us staff. Constant critcal comments. I’ve not been with next long. I’m looking at other jobs so I can leave next as I’m feeling really anxious coming into work. Avoid working here if you can. At this point being homeless and penniless would be better than working here
