Pros

Excellent salary and benefits. That is all.

Cons

Worked as a store manager for 9 years. district managers are straight out of college with absolutely no real life experience. They are molded into "robots" and treat store level employees like garbage. Unrealistic goals, deliver poor results. Was sometimes in the store alone until 11am, and came in at 6..,,,just to hit the unrealistic labor commitment. 2 people there all day long.

Pros

The pay goes a bit up after 3 years to £11.90, and will be going back up in June to £12.30. But not worth it.

Cons

No life-work balance Pay too little for doing the job of 4 people at the time. Managers keep comparing people and expect too much. They use Bradford index, meaning if you’re ill for about 3 days in a year you can get disciplinary. Your mental health will be ruined along with your body since they do not invert on good quality materials for staff. No discount. You do not get treated like a human being, they want a robot. Not allowed to talk to colleagues because you have to work and as fast as they want not as fast as you can. Sometimes they want you to finish early and you can’t say no, specially on closes. Store manager can be off sick as long as you want meanwhile they will bother you when you’re off sick asking she will you come back.
