Pros

Employee discount and yearly Christmas vouchers

Cons

No recognised union so bullying is rife from management. Terrible working atmosphere. Managers constantly watching you incase you're 'talking and not working'. Micromanaging everything you do. Doing deliveries on your own. Cliques. Favouritism from male managers towards attractive female employees. High turnover. Employing young people to pay peanuts and manipulate into near slave labour.
