Pros

Pay is decent (I have to add extra words here because there’s no other pro to add)

Cons

No actual possibility of progression for people who genuinely try and want to improve their departments or the store in general. Lazy ignorant managers who expect the world from you but won’t even be on the shop floor enough to understand how it functions from day to day You can’t raise an issue with hr either because they violate any rules hr is meant to adhere by and go grass you up to the manager you’ve tried reporting because they are all mate who want to keep management as a litre exclusive club full of the uneducated

Pros

Great work environment Pay is great for retail Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule but know it's a pain Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Finding out that there's family relations just seems off putting to others. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems like a cop out The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand. Leadership doesn't seem to care about it.
