Pros

Pride in your role, colleagues can be great, some area managers are great by giving fair and reasonable feedback, gained alot of experience whilst at the company, store manager is very fair and understanding.

Cons

seldom are you valued for all your efforts.. you are told "you need your days off too" but when you take your day off and a sick call happens it is immediately your fault. Its good to have responsibility but getting paid for the large amount of responsibility would be wonderful. Very much a 'if your face fits' environment. Extremely hard to dismiss colleagues. Managers rarely back you up even though this is in basic training

Pros

The colleagues are all really nice people and i get along with them well. Good store in terms of value for money, promotions and a great choice of products.

Cons

The management are god awful. They don't have a clue what they are doing and are all trying to impress one another and those senior to themselves at the expense of the employees. They also seemingly just wander around aimlessly and don't do much, even when we are really busy they wont join in. My department (portering) is neglected greatly and we are always understaffed. Time off policies are bad and no sick pay is also not on.
