Thank you for your review and feedback. It’s encouraging to hear you felt supported by your managers and appreciated the flexibility and union presence, those are important parts of how we aim to support colleagues. We know that store environments can be fast-paced, and we understand how challenging it can feel when demand is high or resources feel stretched. While we can’t speak to the specifics of your store’s staffing or shift patterns, your feedback helps us understand how this can impact colleagues on the ground. You’ve also raised a concern about pressure from head office. We’ll make sure this is shared with the relevant teams, as we’re always looking to understand how decisions are experienced across the business. Thanks again for your contribution – wishing you all the best in what’s next.

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
