Pros

If you are a Deputy Manager or Store Manager, 50 hour contracts do benefit from high salaries. Hardest Working Staff I've ever had the pleasure of working with. So many different areas to the job - very good experience in all aspects of retail management. Very hands on management approach which I loved doing. Company has shifted in the last few months and although its hard to change, I think these changes will better new employees.

Cons

Long, long hours. Not getting full breaks, or enough time between shifts, Very difficult to have any sort of social life when in management.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
