Thanks for your feedback. We definitely recommend that you speak to your line manager to ensure you're able to take your allocated breaks. HR People Services can also guide you on this. Thanks ^Sophie

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
