Pros
Higher rate of pay than many retailers, but unfortunately when working it out, 24k/annum for a 70 hour week is very poor. Fast progression within the company if you're an autocratic sociopath who wants to give their life and soul to a faceless, monstrous discount supermarket chain
Cons
Horribly understaffed, leading to being landed in trouble for not getting everything done despite often leaving 3 hours late and hence being unable to have any sort of social life. Recent productivity targets have worsened this situation. Very top down autocratic management, lacking in compassion and humanity. Very lengthy recruitment process, amazingly they seem to put a lot of resources into carefully recruiting managers but make no effort to retain them. Company loves systems and set ways of doing every tiny thing. Kills any hope of creativity and individuality. Awful meat grinder of a place that has claimed the souls of so many - the managers have glazed over eyes and lack any humour due to years of being demoralised.
