Pros

10% discount Nothing else ...

Cons

Avoid at all costs. Manager decided to announce to the team that they had to cut around 50hrs a week. Being the newest member naturally my hours were heavily cut. I was also on the tills pretty much every shift for around 9hrs if not longer at a time. Can safely say worst job I've ever had.

RDC & H/O world seem like good cultures but within Sales and stores is different

Endless hours, managed viciously, awful on how it “represents” its values
