Mid company to work for, good management decent pay

Can be stressful, sometimes can feel like they are always adding new responsibilities to your role but at the same time cut the amount of hours you can use…

Pros

Lots of Overtime, pleasant colleagues

Cons

Low staff, very stingy with hours often leaving us very overworked or the shop is in an embarrassing state. Very little progression Often complaints against management would be waved off regardless of how serious they are.
