Pros

- Competitive pay - 30% staff discount

Cons

Management can be very strict. Expect high workloads and long hours, no matter your role, and don’t expect work-life balance to come easily. You won't be paid enough, the company structure is rigid and demanding. Definitely a workplace for those who thrive under intense structure and don’t mind a high-pressure environment. Promotions don't come to 90% of the workforce and when you do get the opportunity to be promoted, you'll have to study and do a multiple choice option test to get a £1 raise which is unheard of from any other basic retailer.

Pros

You learn a lot of the business; scheduling and payroll, labor management, how to create a daily workflow to accomplish business objectives. You're provided with detailed insights into a store's operations- it's P&L statement, total inventory and how convert key data into actionable plans. Simply put, you are challenged and will learn a lot.

Cons

Company and store experience varies greatly by store location. Unfortunately, management favoritism results in certain individuals getting better treatment and greater access to professional opportunities. Additionally, Company HR is very tepid when addressing store issues pertaining to behaviors exhibited by store management towards associates. Scheduling can be very inflexible and unaccommodating.
