Over worked and staff taken for granted

Pros

I enjoy the team I work with. There are some areas I enjoy.

Cons

The workload is so high it's achievable. The company expectations of your own time you put into the job are too high, 10 hours unpaid a week is expected rather than appreciated. The only benefit is a 10% staff discount (30% own brand) and that's only when the system isn't down. Every year the hours put into store are drastically reduced resulting in lack of motivation/loyalty from the team and managements jobs becoming harder yet all kpis become harder to reach. Salaries haven't risen with inflation for years. Reading other reviews on here it seems head office/field staff are treated disproportionately better than store teams.
