Pros

Hybrid working arrangements (when permitted)

Cons

Deeply toxic senior leadership that remains untouched while high-performing employees continue to leave A clear revolving door culture, if you speak up or call out bullying, unethical or fraudulent practices, your days are numbered Favouritism is rife and actively stifles talent, morale and progression Inappropriate and ineffective management behaviours are routinely overlooked Psychological safety does not exist, silence is rewarded, integrity is punished

Pros

Better pay than other retail jobs, free machine, free coffee

Cons

Terrible working conditions: the air conditioning and heat both do not work, you have to wear coats and gloves indoors and risk heat exhaustion in summer. Managers choose a target to dispose of and work against that person by a campaign of lies and passive aggressiveness. Do not apply if you have a medical restriction, no matter how mild, it will be held against you. Micromanaging to the extreme, down to everything you say. They also speak of diversity, but employees are misgendered and deadnamed.
