Pros

Staff discount. Thats it. I honestly dony know why i am still here but trust me, i wont be for much longer.

Cons

Not enough hours generated in store. Staff safety constantly at risk. Management expected to do 5 peoples work. Management have no control over running of the store. No pay review. No additional pay for running 2 stores for 3 months. Penalised for not performing in said 3 months. Area managers unsupportive. Constantly piling on more jobs and more pressure without giving us more time to do said tasks.

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
