Pros

good staff discount, relatively friendly staff, flexible hours

Cons

favouritism from management shown blatantly towards certain staff members, rude district managers, mixed messages from staff, no guaranteed hours and simply not paid enough for the level of work expected from staff members, especially sales assistants who were often treated unfairly. when requested a name change on the system due to several staff members going by different names to their legal one, staff given a run around and ignored which caused significant distress for those staff members. high turn-around of staff members due to poor pay, hours and treatment.

Pros

30% normal discount 50% during Christmas

Cons

Horrible company that is poorly managed from top to bottom. Union busters, don't stand up for employees safety, will defend awful customers and even reward them.
