Pros

Most colleagues are nice Work is interesting and wide variety to do Will learn a lot of stuff, good for fresh grads as it will look good on your resume

Cons

- Non-existent employee benefits, no staff discount etc etc. - 10 days annual leave only - VERY low starting salary. The excuse they will give is that ‘it’s actually standard market rate’. Or if they tell you it’s because of the pandemic, ITS NOT. don’t believe them, they are just cheapskate! - Management is very stingy with money, can promise us all the upgrades but it never happens. But somehow they have money to keep opening new stores - HR Seem to take advantage of foreign staff, and make them work very long hours inc on weekends - High turnover rate in certain departments like logistics, but some other department executives are nice

Pros

Independent learning, train yourself from your own experience. Good for fresh grads that need to fill their resumes (please read contract carefully). Be prepared to do tasks outside of your job scope.

Cons

Many rules enforced which sometimes feel suffocating and you're always watched. Not a place for long term growth since it's hard for a big company to change. Be prepared for inefficient workflows by the lack of changes over the years. Team communication is not the best, not everyone is able work well according to their job scope.

Pros

Literally nothing, you feel horrible working here.

Cons

Treated with no respect. They pick their favourites and if you are not one of them you will get no hours or very little hours. If you get hired for store set up, do not expect to be still working for the company once the stall opens. They give no hours out to roughly half the people who were apart of stall set up. Stall set up is very tiring and physically and emotionally draining. No to little training. Expected to know everything. Higher management is very rude and can sexist towards women. Shocking when it comes to work health and safety. no feedback on how you are doing until they give you no hours and then tell you, you have a poor performance. Yet won`t explain what you have done wrong or how to improve. They (the higher ups) barely speak to some of the workers so you don't know if you are doing the right thing or not. So poorly managed. the list goes on and on.
