Pros

Absolutely none, staff discount is a perk I suppose if you like a cluttered house, off trend decor or broken furniture.

Cons

I can only describe this employment as the worst few months of my life! The training scheme is a shambles with no communication from the HR department and out of date online courses. The stores are messy, I witnessed many unsafe procedures such as blocking fire exits, staff are not correctly trained on manual handling and are expected to carry 95kg boxes alone. The furniture is poor quality and often arrives in store broken or with known faults. Hours are long & there was never enough staff to cover tasks, the store manager was abusive to staff and sat in the office all day refusing to help with any duties.
