Pros

There are no pros for this company

Cons

Where to start! Management are a joke was a brand new store and I was there from day 1 building the store from the ground up cause apparently it was good for us to see it develope more likely we where cheaper than hiring proffessionals. They way I got spoken too for not knowing how to build a shelf was disgusting... yeah cause I forgot over night I became a shop fitter...employee's where scared to open there mouths to ask for a drink and anyone who had a drink on the shop floor was punished for it. The shop opened and we where very successful but still no praise for the hard work we done but u had to be busy busy busy because if u where caught looking like u where doing nothing u where fired. Withing the first week a manager and 7 members of staff left and then I got a virus and ended up in hospital but like a good employee I arrange cover for my last 4hr shift of the week...I called management explained the situation and all seemed fine. I went into work the following Monday and was called into the office and asked to explain why I was off I explained I was in hospital with a virus etc and I was then told to take my badge off get my stuff and go!...I have never been fired in my life but I especially have never been in trouble let alone fired for being ill even tho I arranged cover which they said was fine. I'm a single mother and was working my a** off for a bunch of twats that swore at staff and treated us like s***e on there shoes
