Pros

The UK Retail Leadership Team are an outstanding group of people, working passionately to do their best for the brand and its team across the UK and Ireland. Having spent over 10 years alongside the group I would recommend the business as an employer. There is a strong culture amongst the leadership group of doing the right thing for their teams which is the main reason why so many people stay committed to the brand for so many years.

Cons

A challenging and competitive market.
