Pros

WFH, staff discount, some good people to work with

Cons

Didn't feel like part of the team from the beginning. Felt like my TL didn't want me there, wanted me out but couldn't fire me. Eventually tried to get me on something so I resigned. Was invited to raise a grievance when I left but chose not to. Other cons include doing some work out of hours but you get time in lieu for this. Measured against time worked instead of actual quality of work. Management would bang on about record profits for the business but would we see any of this?.. absolutely not

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the time you spent with us. We're pleased to hear that you valued the flexibility of working from home, the 30% colleague member discount, and the opportunity to work with some great colleagues. We're sorry to learn that you didn't feel part of the team and that your experience with management fell short of expectations. Feeling included and supported is important to us, and we encourage colleagues to raise concerns when they arise. Choosing not to do so makes it difficult for us to address issues and improve the working environment. Your comments suggest frustration, and while we understand that not every experience will be positive, we remain committed to fairness and transparency. We encourage constructive feedback and open dialogue, as this is the best way to resolve challenges and ensure everyone feels valued. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. We wish you the best for the future.

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
