Pros
I have made some great friends working at River Island, I believe this is because of the emphasis on teamwork in the operations department. Work life balance is good but our store processes delivery very early in the morning, 6am starts are not ideal.
Cons
There is a lot of pressure on the operations team in our store I sometimes feel the deadlines and targets laid out by management are unrealistic. I also feel some managers, even level twos, could do with some kind of training when dealing with staff as they can come off as patronising and condescending, this may just be an issue concerning certain individuals but communication is key. Processing delivery could be made less stressful.
