      Pros

      decent pay and holiday entitlement, opportunities for progression, good colleague discount on own brand products diverse hiring policy easy to make friends

      Cons

      -Typically understaffed, online order services are very busy and often 1-1 shifts which are very long and tiring -area/regional managers seem completely out of touch with what it’s actually like to work in a store, way too focussed on numbers and don’t acknowledge that the workload has drastically increased over the years (since they did the role), or the increase in shoplifters

      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
