Pros

Plenty of overtime and the pay was good.

Cons

I was bullied by workers’ older than me as well as some of the management team. I was so depressed because of this that I started taking antidepressants. I tried hard at work but every effort was ignored and I would face severe criticism as well as lies fed back from other managers’ to my line manager, I used to beg them to check CCTV because of the scrutiny I was facing for little or no reason. I was spoken about behind my back and singled out by other partners, I reported this with evidence and nothing was done. I am now taking this further because my experience here was disgusting and unacceptable. Judging by other reviews I’m sure most branches are different with better treatment but this was just my personal experience. There is a 40% staff turnover rate at this store and I’m not surprised as to why.
