Pros

For working in retail as someone who cares about people, the planet, and animals, it doesn’t get much better than this. Awesome products. 50% discount is great, makes things an almost normal price

Cons

Very poor, untrained and inexperienced management The products are so expensive it feels like you’re gaslighting customers if you don’t acknowledge this. The collaborations are cheapening everything. I don’t understand what customer wants a shrek branded shower gel for £30. Make it more upscale or go fully in on kids. The laziness of making rotas is borderline cruelty. Constant mistakes, never the same shifts so impossible to plan ahead, some shifts in the morning, then training in the evening so if you had to travel from afar you might have a 12 hour day but only get paid for a few hours and have to kill loads of time in between. Very minimal, poor training, then being told off for not knowing stuff nobody ever told you

Pros

Discounts, we got 50% off of most items

Cons

Unhygienic, stressful, money hungry, fear monger. Unprofessional managers both as an employee and customer. Never experienced such low life conditions, manager brought in animal multiple times in store, and made staff clean its pee. Customers were floored, inexcusable and HR is unresponsive. The bathroom is disgusting, and inaccessible. I cannot imagine any one with a physical disability being able to use the restroom. It was so difficult to suck in your stomach, then trip on box after box. They BLOCK the fridge and made us put our food in our tiny lockers. Manager is too comfortable with the amount of time spent within the company to ever fear facing any consequences or repercussions. Even fired staff in the past for contacting HR for help.
