Pros

Mon-Fri 9-5 (consistent shifts) Friendly and helpful team. Rewarding job satisfaction. There is always someone to help you, should you need it. Friendly and welcoming line manager. Great benefits/discounts etc.

Cons

FA pay doesn't match with just how much work we have to do.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful 5 star review and for taking the time to share your experience. It's fantastic to hear how much you value the consistent hours, supportive team, and the rewarding nature of your role as a Funeral Arranger. Creating an environment where colleagues feel welcomed, supported, and able to make a real difference to families is incredibly important to us, so it is great to know this is reflected in your day-to-day experience. We're also really pleased that you are making the most of our colleague benefits, including our 30% colleague member discounts in store, as well as savings across a wide range of products and services such as insurance and other everyday essentials. We aim to provide meaningful support that goes beyond the workplace, and it is great to see this recognised. We appreciate your honest feedback on pay as well. We know how demanding and important this role is, and insights like yours are vital in helping us continue to review and improve our colleague offering. Thank you again for everything you do to support families at such important moments, and for being a valued part of the team.

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
