Pros

Benefits, Holidays (when they are approved)

Cons

Hardly any staff. And some of the staff that are there don’t care, just come in when they want. Shop is always messy, no pride in anything. . Rotas never done on time. Manager dumped on from a great height. No wonder we are in the bottom 5 in the country.

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
