Salary is ok but less than min wage for hours worked, also includes an amount only paid if you opt our of 48 hour min working week, Holiday allowance is good, only offer Statutory sick pay, no staff discount, no mileage allowance travelling to other stores, regional offices etc.

Cons

70+ hours, pressure to opt out of working time directive, culture, deductions from salary for tills/safe being down, covering for other stores mat leave off sick, alarm call ours 24/7.
