Pros

Would not recommend anyone to work for this company.

Cons

No help or support No bonus No one that actually know what they are doing on the managers side. They try to cancel holiday the day before or even when you are on them. Pay is shocking for what you do. Management haven't got a clue what they are doing. The owners don't now anything as they just spend all the profits in them self. Jusy not a very nice company.

Pros

Excellent prospects for progression due to staff turnover being shockingly high. As long as you can stand it for more than 12 months I'd say you could make store manager within 2 years maximum. Free out of date stock. Although it will get you sacked if they catch you, you can enjoy as much out of date stock as you like. Just keep it on the down low as perfectly edible food should go in the bin and not be eaten by staff who make minimum wage. Pay day was always a highlight. Not because it was a particularly big amount but it was always nice when they paid you on time and correctly.

Cons

Being watched 24 hours a day gets a little tiresome after a while. Knowing that at any time the overseers at head office could be watching and occasionally picking up the phone to tell you to move yourself (pretty sure this is illegal, but it wouldn't be the first illegal thing that Euro have done) Lack of anyone who seems to know what they are doing. This was a constant battle for me and I would get conflicting reports from different people on the proper action to take, usually when all else failed we reverted to the good old Roc UK method of working. They will bleed you dry if you give them half a chance. Too many to list but most of the other reviews on here seem to have it spot on.

Pros

Exactly what you expect from a forecourt. Cant really say much more than that. Certainly is the job you apply for.

Cons

Not enough help when its needed.. Too many single manned hours. How can one person really be expected to hold down a site so close to a town centre over the holidays?
