Pros

- Fortunate to work with a lovely team - discount card

Cons

Focused on maximising profits and cutting costs, no care for their employees it is a very hard run company. As long as profits are high, they are not concerned nor do they want to hear it. No extra's for the hardworking teams that run the shop and very very basic pay for the amount of work they expect from you (managers and supervisors). They take holidays from you if you have not worked your contracted yearly hours but taken more holidays (understandable) but will pay you £1 for ALL the holidays you have missed out on and not had time to take. If your contracted hours fall on an Easter Sunday, Christmas Day etc etc then you have to take it as days holiday. Almost laughable. Rude area manager, there's a huge sence of hierarchy between them and us. Definitely not a company that I can speak highly of when telling others. I am contracted as a sales assistant but expected to do the hours and work of a supervisor/manager on £6.95 an hour.
