Pros

You get to be your own boss, working at the store you have the freedom to get your job done at your pace without a manager breathing down your neck.

Cons

The hours are quite long mon-fri 9am-6pm for most stores.

Thanks you for sharing your thoughts and that you find the autonomy you have rewarding. I note your comments about opening hours, however I think that they compare favorably with other retailers. Finally Thank you for your advice to management. We are always looking at ways to further incorporate the views of our employees in projects and to get them involved in user testing.

Great place to work

Pros

- work hours 9 to 6, enough time to get on with many other things in the evening - nothing on your mind about work, only working from 9 to 6 without having to worry about anything as soon as it hits 6pm - Rota done monthly so you can plan out your off days for the entire month in advance - Great work ethic - chances of progression throughout the company and training provided.

Cons

- solo working in stores - commuting to different branches (takes up more time sometimes than your own store)

Thank you for your positive review. I am pleased that the hours and rota allow you to create a good work life balance. It is also pleasing that you have noticed the career and progression opportunities available to you. Unfortunately there will always be times in an organisation such as ours, where you are required to travel to other stores within your district, however we do try to keep this to a minimum where ever possible.
