Pros

They offered good discounts for staff

Cons

Since taking over somerfields, there management are changing the coop into somerfields. Had £50 taken from my wages, 2months on a row and nobody could tell me where it went. Wages was always short and never got your money back, when you went on training days you never got paid. they only care about making money and thats all. All there adverts on tv about how they care is a joke. I worked there for six months and lost around £600 through incompatant mangement. When you ask for a number to sort your problems they tell you there is no deptment. Had a 8 hour contract but worked 38 hours a week but only allowed 8 hours a week holiday.

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
